Crash into Me
Dave Matthews Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tied to me tight, tie me up again
Who's got their claws in you, my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock, and sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost, for you
Crash into me
And I come into you
And I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
Oh, when you come
Crash into me
Yeah, baby, when I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me for my haste
When I'm holding you so, girl
Close to me
And you come
Crash into me, baby
And I come into you
Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
A boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
Wear nothing but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted
The way I like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me
Baby, come crash into me, yeah
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, you know
I'm the king of the castle
You're my dirty rascal
Crash into me
Please crash into me, baby
We both know
See the wave, come crash into me
See the wave coming, crash into me
Crash into me
Oh, hey
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, yeah
No, no, no, no, no, no, hey, hey, yeah, yeah
"Crash into Me," by Dave Matthews Band, is a passionate song that explores the vulnerability of love and the desire to connect. The first few lines describe an intense connection between two people, with the singer feeling tied up and helpless under the influence of their partner. The question "Who's got their claws in you, my friend?" could indicate a hint of jealousy, as the singer grapples with insecurity and a fear of losing their significant other to another person or to their own inner demons. However, the focus of the lyrics soon shifts to the beauty of this relationship, with the singer describing their partner as "sweet like candy to my soul."
As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the title "Crash into Me" is about the unity the singer feels with their loved one. The repeated phrase "And I come into you" is sexual in nature but also has a deeper meaning, suggesting a merging of two souls beyond the physical realm. The singer's desire to see their partner's world and be seen in return is expressed in the lines "Hike up your skirt a little more / And show your world to me," which may indicate a desire for emotional transparency and the vulnerability required to achieve it.
Overall, "Crash into Me" is a song about emotional and physical intimacy, vulnerability, and the desire to connect with another person on a deep level.
