Crush
DavidArchuleta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time deep inside
It was a rush, what a rush

'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
It's just too much, just too much
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?
Is there more, is there more?

See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last
Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know

Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying and trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
This crush ain't goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy




Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy
Goin' away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Overall Meaning

In David Archuleta's "Crush," the singer describes the overwhelming feeling of crushing on someone who he isn't sure reciprocates his feelings. He hangs up the phone with the person and feels something deep inside for the first time. The possibility that this person might feel the same way about him sends him on a rush. However, he struggles with running away from the truth and acknowledges that all he ever thinks about is the person he's crushing on. He's hypnotized and wants to know if they ever think about him too when they're alone. The lyrics suggest that it's a chance worth taking, and Archuleta believes that they can make something that will last forever.


The chorus repeats a series of questions addressed to the person he's crushing on. He wonders if they ever think about where they could go as a couple or if he's just lost in the crush. He wonders if they hold back, as he does when he looks at them, catching glimpses of each other's breath. Archuleta acknowledges that he has been trying to walk away from his crush, but the truth is that it's not going away.

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside, it was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way about me
Just too much, just too much

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay

[Verse 2]
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl
Are we just friends? Is there more, is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay

[Pre-Chorus]
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know

[Chorus]
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Cause I've tried and tried to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay
Going away
Going away-ay-ay
Going away-ay-ay
