Silver Cross Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you feel alright?
Do you need me by your side?
We go out all night
Makes the pain hurt a little less
Do it one more time
'Cause it feels so justified
We go out all night
See you fall, pick you up again


[Pre-Chorus]
If your eyes are sad, it makes me sad too
You got me so overprotective, it's true
Feel like I would jump off buildings for you
It's okay, I'll watch you cry all night
I promise I won't let you go

[Chorus]
I'll pull you close, so close, so close
I'll never let you go, you know
Head on my chest, a silver cross
You can cry all night, I'll never let you go

I'll pull you close, so close, so close
I'll never let you go, you know
Head on my chest, a silver cross
You can cry all night, I'll never let you go
(Never let you go)
[Verse 2]
Lie awake till dawn (Oh, oh)
We're face to face and palm to palm
Do you feel okay?
All your problems are far away (So far away)
Lying till it's true (Oh, oh)
It's alright, I'm trusting you
Do you feel okay?
Take a breath, make you feel safe

[Pre-Chorus]
If your eyes are sad, it makes me sad too
You got me so overprotective, it's true
Feel like I would jump off buildings for you
It's okay, I'll watch you cry all night
I promise I won't let you go

[Chorus]
I'll pull you close, so close, so close
I'll never let you go, you know
Head on my chest, a silver cross
You can cry all night, I'll never let you go
I'll pull you close, so close, so close
I'll never let you go, you know
Head on my chest, a silver cross
You can cry all night, I'll never let you go
I'll pull you close, so close, so close
I'll never you let you go, you know
Head on my chest, a silver cross
You can cry all night, I'll never let you go
[Outro]
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go
Never let you go

Genius Answer

Speaking to PAPER Magazine:

I think people think it’s about love, but it’s actually about taking a friend out for a night out when they need to forget someone. Like when your friend is really sad and you just need to be there for them and take them out and escape with them. Make them forget their troubles. That’s actually what “Silver Cross” is about. It’s about friendship and helping them when they need you most.
