Born December 23, 1978 Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Jenny-Bea Englishman is better known as Esthero.
At the age of sixteen, Esthero moved from small town Harriston, Ontario on her own to Toronto, where she began singing at open-mic nights, a journey that in 1997 led to a meeting with the president of EMI Publishing Canada, whom she charmed so well during their first meeting that without hearing her sing a single note he was moved to set up and finance recording sessions with Doc, a guitarist and studio engineer.

Their debut album, Breath from Another, was released to critical acclaim in 1998 and is widely seen as one of the more accessible albums of the trip-hop genre.
Though she remained active following the moderate success of the debut album, featuring on tracks by such artists as Nelly Furtado and The Black Eyed Peas, it would take over 7 years for a proper follow-up to be released (due to a confluence of factors that included a lengthy creative process, the closure of the WORK record label and marketing delays) in the form of 2005's Wikked Lil Grrrls, an album that crossed genre boundaries with its heavy debt to jazz and hip-hop. The album was preceded in 2004 by a pair of EPs, The O.G. Bitch Remixes (with the title song reaching Number 1 on the Billboard Dance Chart) and We R In Need of a Musical Revolution, which served as a preview of the full length album.
After the release of Wikked Lil Grrrls, Esthero devoted an increasing amount of time to songwriting and production, with her work featuring on albums by Brandy and Kanye West (most prominently on West's single Love Lockdown).
2012 saw the release of Esthero's third full-length album, Everything is Expensive (Universal Music Canada), preceded by the release of Never Gonna Let You Go as the lead single and video. The album was partially funded through a campaign on PledgeMusic in which backers could choose from exclusives such as artwork by the singer. Everything is Expensive debuted on Billboard's Heatseeker chart at #13.

Crash
Esthero Lyrics
Crashed down on the floor
Hold your breath and fall apart
You made a simple mistake
And now you're praying for a better heart
Some of us make our own beds
We can't afford to lay in them
Remember I always have said
You should leave me alone
'Cause I don't wanna crash, now I'm afraid
That I'm going nowhere way too fast
And I can't hear what you say
I'm in a conversation with my past
And maybe you wasn't the brave
So much the praising what it got me through
And somehow the path that I've paved
Just keeps leading me to you
But I don't wanna crash now
Don't wanna crash now
I shouldn't ever be afraid to lay you down
I just wanna hold you in my arms again
If only for a moment I could have you here
Lady, I would never let you go
'Cause I don't wanna crash now
I don't wanna crash now
Come on in the sun
When you're scared, can face it down
'Cause here I am, you will not be alone
Keep facing the sun
You'll reach it one day
Blame it on the back
'Til you can watch with me
And you mean to be free
And when the sun goes down
There's still tomorrow
Don't you be afraid
To let your sorrow breathe
Your strength is all you need
Did you ever know you were the one?
'Cause I can hardly even tell

Here are the real lyrics:
Crash down on the floor, hold your breath and fall apart.
You made a simple mistake and now you're paying for it with your heart.
Some of us make our own beds but we can't afford to lay in them
Remember I always have said you should leave me alone
Cause I don't wanna crash now I'm afraid that I'm going nowhere way too fast
And I can't hear what you say, I'm in a conversation with my past
Well maybe I wasn't that brave so much as brazen but it got me through
And somehow the path that I pave just keeps leading me to you.... But I don't wanna crash now.
Shoulda never been afraid to lay you down
I just wanna hold you in my arms again
If only for a moment I could have you here
Lady, I would never let you go
But I don't wanna crash now, no way
Come on in the sun, when you're scared then face it down.
Cause here I am in your love, in your love.
Keep facing the sun you'll reach it one day
Baby don't look back til you get what you need
And you need to be free

Crashed down on the floor, hold your breath and fall apart.
You made a simple mistake and now you're paying for it with your heart.
Some of us make our own beds, but we can't afford to lay in them.
Remember I always have said you should leave me alone.
'Cause I don't wanna crash now I'm afraid, that I'm going nowhere way too fast.
And I can't hear what you say, I'm in a conversation with my past.
And maybe I wasn't that brave, so much as brazen but it got me through.
And somehow the path that I've paved just keeps leading me to you.
But I don't wanna crash now.
I don't wanna crash now.
I shouldn't have been afraid to let you down, I just wanna hold you in my arm again.
If only for a moment I could have you here, lady, I would never let you go.
'Cause I don't wanna crash now, no oh.
I don't wanna crash now, no way.
Come on in the sun,
When you're scared, and facin' down.
'Cause here I am, in front of you, and you will not, be alone.
Keep facing the sun you'll reach it one day,
Baby don't look back 'til you get what you need
And you need to be free.
And when the sun rolls down there's still tomorrow,
Don't you be afraid to let your sorrow breathe,
Your strength is all you need.
Did you ever know you were the one?
'Cause I could hardly even tell.

Crashed down on the floor, hold your breath and fall apart.
You made a simple mistake and now you’re praying for a better heart.
Some of us make our own beds, we can’t afford to lay in them.
Remember I always have said you should leave me alone.
‘Cause I don’t wanna crash, now I’m afraid
That I’m going nowhere way too fast.
And I can’t hear what you say, I’m in a conversation with my past.
And maybe you wasn’t the brave, so much the praising what it got me through.
And somehow the path that I’ve paved just keeps leading me to you.
But I don’t wanna crash now,
Don’t wanna crash now.
I shouldn’t ever be afraid to lay you down,
I just wanna hold you in my arms again.
If only for a moment I could have you here.
Lady, I would never let you go.
‘Cause I don’t wanna crash now,
I don’t wanna crash now.
Come on in the sun,
When you’re scared, can face it down.
‘Cause here I am, you will not be alone.
Keep facing the sun, you’ll reach it one day,
Bame it on the back ‘till you can watch with me
And you mean to be free.
And when the sun goes down, there’s still tomorrow,
Don’t you be afraid to let your sorrow breathe.
Your strength is all you need.
Did you ever know you were the one?
‘Cause I can hardly even tell.

Here's a tip for those who hear songs on Shows and want to know what they are.
This is just what I do though it's nowhere near the best way.
1st Way) Search [Series Name] OST, it's good if you know the season it'll probably make it easier for you. If you've got some sort of service the 'Info' button will likely tell you all of this info.
2nd Way) Listen to a chunk of the lyrics(it's not always the chorus that plays.) and write it or type it memorize it. Google [Written/Typed Lyrics] Lyrics, and you'll likely get results that have the song you're looking for.
If it's an instrumental...the 1st way will probably suit you better, if not...I can't help lol.

EstheroOfficial I can’t figure out exactly what the meaning of this song is.
Scott Winkelhausen
I also heard it on Criminal Minds, I Immediately fell in love with the music, but I also fell for the words of the song, mostly with the first paragraph. I don't know why the words of the first part of this song has grabbed onto my soul, it's what makes me really listen.
