Cross Your Mind
Producers
It's your world I wanna live in
It's your ocean I wanna swim in
It's your show and I'm just watchin'
Losin' you is not an option
[Pre-Chorus]
If you leave me like a message in a bottle
And you don't come back tomorrow
At least you came tonight
It's easy to pretend that I'm not caught up
But when you get hot and bothered
I can't give up the fight
[Chorus]
Love the way you hurt me
And it doesn't even cross your mind, oh
Tell me that you love me
But I know you're out there runnin' wild, oh
And give me all the pain, give me everything
Don't hold back, don't hold back
Leavin' me in pieces, but I swear it's worth it every time
And it doesn't even cross your mind
[Verse 2]
You keep talkin', I'll just listen
Daydreamin' 'bout where your lips been
Pull my heart right out my chest, drive a train through
Still get up and forgive you
If you leave me like a message in a bottle
And you don't come back tomorrow
At least you came tonight
It's easy to pretend that I'm not caught up
But when you get hot and bothered
I can't give up the fight
[Chorus]
Love the way you hurt me
And it doesn't even cross your mind, oh, yeah
Tell me that you love me
But I know you're out there runnin' wild, oh
And give me all the pain, give me everything
Don't hold back, don't hold back
Leavin' me in pieces, but I swear it's worth it every time
And it doesn't even cross your mind
[Bridge]
I want you, there's no lie
I'll love you or die tryin'
I want you, there's no lie
I'll love you or die tryin'
Oh woah, oh, oh, oh I
[Chorus]
Love the way you hurt me
And it doesn't even cross your mind (Doesn't even cross your mind)
Yeah, tell me that you love me
But I know you're out there runnin' wild (Runnin' wild, oh)
And give me all the pain, give me everything
Don't hold back, don't hold back
Leavin' me in pieces, but I swear it's worth it every time
And it doesn't even cross your mind
Doesn't even cross your mind
About

The song is essentially about a hot and cold relationship. One lover being careless and reckless, not taking the other lover into consideration, leaving the other one at loss but the other lover stays because she’s too good to lose.

“Cross Your Mind” started as a piano ballad actually, it was just a four-chord piano ballad that I was playing in the Bahamas. I came in one morning and the first thing I did was sit down, press the chord of F and just started singing. I sang the whole chorus, I had the chorus in a couple of minutes and all the words came out in one go and then I wrote from there. But the more I played it as a piano ballad, the more I started bouncing on my seat and then I was like, no, this can’t be. So then I was listening to a bit of Fleetwood Mac as per usual and Empire of the Sun and stuff like that and using that kind of stuff as a benchmark of what could be produced. That’s where that came from. That will be up there as one of my favourites as well. It’s about something really sad but it’s got a really good feeling.
