Born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, the two attended high school together, and after years of pursuing music in different directions, reconnected at a local spot in their hometown. They collaborated on several covers, turning them into duets and adding a unique spin to songs of other artists. From there, they began co-writing their own original songs, growing together in lyrics, sound, and performance. What started as two individual solo artists, has since emerged the Acoustic Folk duo of "Colin & Caroline".
Colin & Caroline's heart-warming harmonies, original lyrics, and blend of creative covers first grabbed the attention of many in Central Virginia. Several of their original songs (including "More Than Gravity", "Fireflies, and "Like Home") have been featured on popular playlists curated by Spotify, which has spread the presence of Colin & Caroline worldwide. "More Than Gravity" has received over 13 million plays since release in 2014, and it's placement in the Netflix original series "13 Reasons Why."
Crazy Love
Colin & Caroline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's got her head up in the clouds
Sometimes she'll take me up there
And I don't want to come back down
We got this crazy, crazy love
Crazy love
It's a burden yet I know this much
Take my heart empty and fill it up
My baby, he wants nothing more
Then the woman he's been fighting for
Says I'm everything he'dever need
As long as I don't lose my crazy streak
We got this crazy, crazy love
Crazy love
It's a burden yet I know this much
Started out friendly, ended up in this crazy, crazy love
It might not seem like much
But the love you given is more than enough
We got this crazy, crazy love
It's a burden yet I know this much
Started out friendly, ended up in this crazy, crazy love
Crazy, crazy love
crazy love
It's a burden yet I know this much
Took my heart empty, filled it up
With this crazy, crazy love
We got this crazy, crazy love
