Fingers Crossed Lyrics

Waiting for something
But I don't know what I want
Searching for reasons, babe
Reasons to carry on

I got my fingers crossed
And my hopes are high
So I'll try to stay calm
Try to stay dry

Jumpin' from place to place
With a plan so out of range
Nothing I can do to save me
And nothing I can change.

I got my fingers crossed
And my hopes are high
So I'll try to stay calm
Try to stay dry

Wake up and shake off sleep
'Cause there's work to do today
I need time, I need direciton
I need something to say.

I got my fingers crossed
And my hopes are high
So I'll try to stay calm
Try to stay dry

Try to stay dry
I don't know why
I let you into my life
Into my heart
Into my bones
Into my mind
I don't know why
I let you into my life
Into my heart
Into my bones
Into my mind.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The demo customize page on Tumblr brought me here, who'd have thought? I really like this, highly reminiscent of Ingrid Michaelson and Laura Veirs. And I'd think the meaning itself is pretty straightforward.
