She Looks Right Through Me
Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll go home again tonight
Seems like nothing ever changes
Gonna try to screw my head on right
And forget about the past
The fear ain't gonna last any longer

When I start to think about it all
You know it drives me a little crazy
But like a nurse she always takes the call
And like the sunshine through the rain
She'll take away the pain and make me smile

She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And when she does I cannot hide a thing from her
She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And what she'll find I hopes alright for her to keep

She sorts out everything she's heard
And she fills in all the spaces
Doesn't have to say a single word
But as if to knock me down
My head is spinnin' round and I spit it out

She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And when she does I cannot hide a thing from her
She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And what she'll find I hopes alright for her to keep

The pieces don't fit together right
She says there's something missing
I'll go home alone again tonight
And forget about the past
This fear ain't gonna last any longer

She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And when she does I cannot hide a thing from her
She looks right through me
She looks right through me
And what she'll find I hopes alright for her to keep

I'll go home alone again tonight
Yeah

Line by Line Meaning

I'll go home again tonight
Returning to a familiar, repetitive routine


Seems like nothing ever changes
Lack of progress or movement in life


Gonna try to screw my head on right
Attempting to address and fix one's personal issues


And forget about the past
Letting go of past experiences and moving on


The fear ain't gonna last any longer
Overcoming anxiety or worry about the future


When I start to think about it all
Reflecting deeply on one's thoughts


You know it drives me a little crazy
Thoughts causing stress or discomfort


But like a nurse she always takes the call
Comparison to a caregiver who supports and understands


And like the sunshine through the rain
Positivity shining through negative experiences


She'll take away the pain and make me smile
Providing comfort and happiness during tough times


She looks right through me
Seeing past superficial appearances to one's true self


And when she does I cannot hide a thing from her
Feeling vulnerable and exposed in her presence


And what she'll find I hopes alright for her to keep
Trusting her with personal information and vulnerabilities


She sorts out everything she's heard
Caring enough to listen and understand


And she fills in all the spaces
Providing support and filling missing gaps


Doesn't have to say a single word
Comfort being around her without needing to speak


My head is spinnin' round and I spit it out
Feeling overwhelmed and needing to express emotions


The pieces don't fit together right
Feeling like life is not coming together as planned


She says there's something missing
Offering an objective perspective and insight


I'll go home alone again tonight
Continuing with daily life despite any struggles
