Tisa Adamson - Cross Lyrics

She got caught in a drive by life
She tried to stop
But she ran the light
She's got those strange socks on
She laughs and laughs
She knows she's wrong
Her boyfriend has a large white cross
He loves her hard
But he's a total loss
Still, she takes his hand
No questions asked
Just random talk

Still, she pushes out a smile
She cheats her life for a while
She holds her hands up
When she's high
She cheats her life
She cracks a smile
She holds her hands up to the sky

As she walks
The city gets dark
In the distance
She hears a band play
She tries to find that special place
Beyond the violence and the crime

Still, she pushes out a smile
She cheats her life for a while
She holds her hands up
When she is high
She cheats her life
She cracks a smile
She holds her hands up to the sky

Still, she walks so quiet
She never makes a sound
Still, she walks so quietly
Ten feet off the ground

I know this story is old
She always did what she was told
She thought she would go far
But her dreams are crumpled paper in the bottom of her car

Still, she pushes out a smile
She cheats her life for a while
She holds her hands up
When she is high
She cheats her life
She cracks a smile
She holds her hands up to the sky
