About the Song:
“Crossroads and Creases” isn’t just a song—it’s a moment. A faded map of what could’ve been, sung from both sides of the heartbreak. The track captures the quiet moments where love folds under the weight of time and truth. For anyone who's looked across a dinner table—or a dusty road—and realized the path ahead means walking alone, this one hits home.
Why It Matters:
This isn’t break-up fluff. This is the soundtrack of the tough calls—the ones you make after all the fighting's done and the silence says it all. The song speaks to maturity, regret, and peace with the hard goodbye. Real, raw, and ready for late-night airplay.

Song Lyrics Crossroads and Creases
[Verse 1 – Female]
You held that door like you used to do,
Two barstools down and déjà vu,
You didn’t say it, but your eyes did,
Every line we shouldn’t cross—we slid.
[Verse 2 – Male]
That ring still shines but your hand shakes,
You sip slow like it’s high stakes,
We ain't alone, but it sure feels tight,
Like we’re flirting with the edge of right.
[Pre-Chorus – Duet, alternating lines]
(Female) I’m not yours...
(Male) And you’re not mine...
(Female) Just a spark...
(Male) In the pale moonshine...
[Chorus – Duet]
This ain’t cheatin’ if we don’t touch,
It’s a game in our minds, but it don’t mean much,
Words unsaid, but they linger near,
Two hearts dancing on the edge of fear.
[Verse 3 – Female]
Pictures of you on my old smartphone,
We’re tethered to a love we never own,
Caught in the whispers of forgotten days,
In the space between us where shadows play.
[Verse 4 – Male]
I flick my cigarette, watch it glow,
Like the secrets that we both know,
Temptation lingers like the barroom light,
Could we let go, or hold on tight?
[Pre-Chorus – Duet, alternating lines]
(Female) A part of me…
(Male) Wants to break free…
(Female) But the other side…
(Male) Is where we long to be…
[Chorus – Duet]
This ain’t cheatin’ if we don’t touch,
It’s a game in our minds, but it don’t mean much,
Words unsaid, but they linger near,
Two hearts dancing on the edge of fear.
[Bridge – Female Soft Whisper]
What’s the use of a love we crave?
When the distance feels like a grave...
[Bridge – Male Soft Whisper]
I’ll keep it close, a thief in the night,
Our burdened dreams feel too right…
[Chorus – Duet]
This ain’t cheatin’ if we don’t touch,
It’s a game in our minds, but it don’t mean much,
Words unsaid, but they linger near,
Two hearts dancing on the edge of fear.
[Outro – Duet]
So I’ll take this vow to the depths of my heart,
It’s the silence that tears us apart,
We stand on a line that we know we can’t cross,
This ain’t cheatin’... and we’re both so lost.
