Fingers Crossed - Original by Billie Eilish Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh~
Haa~
In the end, when they're all gone
When the world is silent and the days are long
Just you and I, we'll be alive
We made it on our own

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh~
I don't wanna be scared
Anymore
Help me

[Chorus]
'Cause everybody makes it 'till they don't
Ooh~
And everybody wants to think they won't
'Cause everybody makes it 'till they don't
Ooh~
And everybody wants to think they won't
(wo-wo-won't)

[Verse 2]
Maybe I'm still alive but my heart is beating slow
Baby, tell mе I gotta know
Are you okay? You seem too far gone
Infectеd, standing there all alone
Haa~
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody makes it 'till they don't
And everybody thinks they won't, they won't, they won't
'Cause everybody makes it 'till they don't
And everybody thinks they won't, they won't, they won't
(Haa~)

[Bridge]
Is an emergency
I have my fingers crossed
While they they swing to the melody
Their perfume? Rotten Lacoste
Runnin' to the shore
Till I can't no more
Stealing in the stores
Run for evermore
Oh

[Post-Bridge]
The best of me, the best of me was you?, or is you?
The best of me, the best of me is you?, Was you

[Outro]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...
Ladum, badum, mmmm, mmm...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
