"Fingers Crossed" by Heffron Drive is a song about two people who were once in a relationship but are now trying to move on. The lyrics depict a scenario where they find themselves reaching out to each other despite agreeing to stay apart. They call each other in the middle of the night, even though they know they shouldn't. The main character acknowledges that they are drunk and lonely, eventually deciding to call a cab for the other person to prevent them from being alone. The narrator admits to talking to themselves because they no longer call the other person. They try to convince themselves that they are fine and moving on, but deep down, they know it's not the same without the other person. The song suggests that letting go of the past is challenging for both of them, as they continue to be drawn to each other. In the second verse, the perspective switches, and it becomes apparent that the other person also struggles with moving on. They call the narrator, going against their own words, not caring about the consequences. They close their tab and head over, seeking closure one last time. The repeated line, "We'll say this time's our last with our fingers crossed," implies that they both know they should move on, but they still hope for a chance of reconciliation. They act like they still belong to each other, even though deep down, they are aware that they are no longer together. Overall, "Fingers Crossed" explores the struggles of letting go and the lingering attachment two people can have even after a breakup. Both characters are aware that they should be moving on, but they can't help but hope for another chance, hence the title "Fingers Crossed."
