Crush
DBMK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell you everything you need
If we're walking up the stairs
Then we better brace our knees
And you will always cover every base and every breath
But if I'm hovering close to you don't tell me when I need rest
I could crush you down, tell my skeleton to lead
I said posture, poise, and promises are all that I believe
But my love is not a weapon and a pen is all I need, listen
Keep the gore I don't need
You anymore, you don't seem
Any different
I'll never envision the look you're going for
I know I'm a dangerous touch
But I can't get you out of my lungs
Say what you want to, say what you want to
Know that I've got a crush
I could climb inside your head like I'm putting on a sweater
Woven into overcast like extra gloomy weather
And you reciprocate by kindly smiling with your teeth
But my courage came in wet and I've got nothing underneath
I could climb inside your heart
Pull the covers, draw the blinds
Romantisize my insecurities to fit the times
I'm sorry if I scared you with my teenage sort of speech
And I might just be human if that's all that I can be, listen
Keep the gore I don't need
You anymore, you don't seem
Any different
I'll never envision the look you're going for
I know I'm a dangerous touch
But I can't get you out of my lungs
Say what you want to, say what you want to
Know that I've got a crush
Something
Out of nothing
You keep my on my toes
Insight, in the headlights
Where you are, well I don't know
You keep me full, you keep me full of medicine
You keep me full, you keep me full of medicine
I know I'm a dangerous touch
But I can't get you out of my lungs
Say what you want to, say what you want to
Know that I've got a crush

I could crush you down
I have the ability to overpower you
Tell you everything you need
And I can provide you with all information you require
If we're walking up the stairs
If we are climbing stairs together
Then we better brace our knees
We need to prepare ourselves for a potential difficult situation
And you will always cover every base and every breath
I know you are thorough and always vigilant
But if I'm hovering close to you don't tell me when I need rest
However, if I am close to you, please let me figure out when I need rest
I could crush you down, tell my skeleton to lead
Even if I have to put myself in a vulnerable position, I will do it for you
I said posture, poise, and promises are all that I believe
I am firm in my beliefs about maintaining a good image and making promises I can keep
And you will always think that there is something up my sleeve
You might always suspect me of hiding something
But my love is not a weapon and a pen is all I need, listen
But my love is not harmful, and all I need is a pen to express it
Keep the gore I don't need
I do not want any graphic details
You anymore, you don't seem
I do not need any more from you
Any different
Your behavior hasn't changed
I'll never envision the look you're going for
I could never imagine what you are aiming for
I know I'm a dangerous touch
I am aware that I might be a risk for you
But I can't get you out of my lungs
But I can't help but keep thinking about you
Say what you want to, say what you want to
You can tell me anything, speak freely
Know that I've got a crush
But you should know that I am smitten with you
Something
There is something intriguing about you
Out of nothing
You have a unique and captivating energy
You keep me on my toes
You keep me alert and engaged
Insight, in the headlights
I am getting a clearer idea of who you are
Where you are, well I don't know
But I am still uncertain of where this is going
You keep me full, you keep me full of medicine
You fill me with contentment and happiness
I know I'm a dangerous touch
I am aware that I might be a risk for you
But I can't get you out of my lungs
But I can't help but keep thinking about you
Say what you want to, say what you want to
You can tell me anything, speak freely
Know that I've got a crush
But you should know that I am smitten with you
