Crawl
Chris Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the one that lost the view
Everybody says we're through
I hope you haven't said it too
So where
Do we go from here
With all this fear in our eyes?
Can love take us now?
We've been so far down
We can still touch the sky
If we crawl
'Til we can walk again
Then we'll run
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly
Until there is no winds
So let's crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love, yeah
Back to love, yeah
Why did I change the pace?
Hearts were never meant to race
Always felt the need for space
And now I can't reach your face (your face)
So where (so where)
Are you standing now?
Are you in the crowd of my faults? (my faults)
Love, can't you see my hand?
I need one more chance
We can still have it all
So we'll crawl (if we crawl)
'Til we can walk again
Then we'll run (then we'll run)
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly
Until there is no winds
So let's crawl, crawl, crawl
Back to love, yeah
Back to love, yeah
Everybody see's it's you
Well I never wanna lose that view
So we'll crawl (if we crawl)
'Til we can walk again
Then we'll run (we'll run)
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly
Until there is no winds
So let's crawl, crawl, crawl (crawl)
So we'll crawl (ooh)
'Til we can walk again ('til we can walk again)
Then we'll run (we'll run)
Until we're strong enough to jump
Then we'll fly (yeah, yeah)
Until there is no wind
So let's crawl, let's crawl, lets crawl (crawl, crawl)
Back to love
The song "Crawl" by Chris Brown is about a couple who are struggling in their relationship. The first verse expresses the idea that everyone can see the problems between them except for the singer, who is the one who lost sight of the situation. The second verse explores the reasons behind their issues, with the singer admitting that he's been pushing away his partner with his desire for space. However, he recognizes that there is still hope for reconciliation, and vows to work on their relationship. The chorus metaphorically portrays their journey back to love as a process of crawling, walking, running, jumping, and eventually flying.
The lyrics use the image of crawling as a metaphor for the slow, difficult process of rebuilding their love - they have to start from the ground up, taking small steps before they can progress to bigger leaps. The repetition of "crawl" emphasizes the repetitive nature of the process and the subtle shifts in vocal inflection throughout the song convey different layers of emotions that come with that journey. In addition, the line "we've been so far down we can still touch the sky" is a clever juxtaposition that highlights the strength of their relationship and the hope to restore it to even greater heights.
