Live
Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

People say I'm crazy
I'm starting to believe them
I'll throw it all away
for something I don't know
I haven't lived my life yet
Start to live my life right now
and I need a way of achieving
and I got a way of achieving now

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right
To come down on me
I just wanna live

People wanna know all the stories
And I wish I could help them
So I'll break the chain
of rumors that ruin all
And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now
And I need something to believe in
I got something to believe in now

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right
To come down on me
I just wanna live

And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now
And I need something to believe in
I got something to believe in now
And I don't know what love is
How about I know what love is now

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna behave
I just wanna live
Who gave you the right




To come down on me
I just wanna live

I’ve been to 20+ Dave concerts,. Watched this one live. This specific performance of this specific song is the best it gets. I find myself playing it all of the time.

Just saw this live too at their concert in NH. So great, and especially with the extended jam at the end.

This must be mid 2000s coz there's no cellphone usage that's seen among the crowd

Just love the parts where they are jamming and smiling. Music makes me feel alive when I’m feeling down. It helps me escape the pressure and negativity of this world. It’s really a language all humans can understand and feel in their soul. Such a beautiful gift to have music.
