Crashed
Chris Daughtry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I was movin' at the speed of sound
Head spinnin', couldn't find my way around and
Didn't know that I was goin' down, yeah, yeah
Where I've been, well, it's all a blur
What I was lookin' for, I'm not sure
Too late and didn't see it comin', yeah, yeah

And then I crashed into you and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me, but then you breathed your breath in me
And then I crashed into you like a runaway train
You will consume me, but I can't walk away

Somehow I couldn't stop myself
I just wanted to know how it felt
Too strong I couldn't hold on, yeah, yeah
Now I'm just tryin' to make some sense
Out of how and why this happened
Where we're headed, there's just no knowin', yeah, yeah

And then I crashed into you and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me, but then you breathed your breath in me
And then I crashed into you like a runaway train
You will consume me, but I can't walk away

From your face, your eyes are burned into me
You saved me, you gave me just what I need
Oh, just what I need

And then I crashed into you and I went up in flames
Could've been the death of me, but then you breathed your breath in me
And then I crashed into you like a runaway train
You will consume me, but I can't walk away

And then I crashed into you, and then I crashed into you
And then I crashed into you, and then I crashed into you




And then I crashed into you like a runaway train
You will consume me, but I can't walk away
