If you've listened to any of his Creevey Crisis songs, you know that this simply isn't true--his musicianship skills are formidable, his tunes listenable, and he honestly tries to be a friend to everybody he meets, especially if he hooks up with them through the Harry Potter fandom.

Russ also says that after being in [and out of] bands since the age of 15, Creevey Crisis has easily been the most fulfilling one of which he's been a part. A big part of that is because he can involve his family in the subject matter. But you don't have to take my word for it--queue up Creevey Crisis right now. You'll be glad you did.

One Last
Creevey Crisis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All those words that I never said
When my voice failed to say
Long hours spent smiling at you
Just when you'd look away

It seemed like I have always known
From the start, that it was you
I can't believe it took so long for me

To decide on what to do

One last kiss for me and
It's like first for you as well
I couldn't face the end knowing
I'd never had the chance to tell
You what you mean to me

I wish I could hold you close
And whisper the words in my heart
But now it's time to make our stand
And ensure we'll never again be apart

One last kiss for me and
It's like first for you as well
I couldn't face the end knowing

I'd never had the chance to tell
You what you mean to me

Line by Line Meaning

All those words that I never said
I regret not speaking up and expressing my feelings

When my voice failed to say
I couldn't find the courage to tell you how I truly felt

Long hours spent smiling at you
I pretended everything was fine and kept my emotions hidden

Just when you'd look away
I only felt comfortable showing my feelings when you weren't looking

It seemed like I have always known
I've had feelings for you for a long time

From the start, that it was you
I always knew that I had a special connection with you

I can't believe it took so long for me
I regret not acting on my feelings sooner

To decide on what to do
I couldn't figure out how to handle my emotions

One last kiss for me and
This will be our final goodbye

It's like first for you as well
It's bittersweet because we both know what could have been

I couldn't face the end knowing
I couldn't bear the thought of leaving without telling you how I feel
