Crush
Fear and Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The way it began

I'm on the edge of my seat
What a show
You've got me feeling so vulnerable
I wonder what your next line will be
Don't you see you are torturing me
Killing me

So sick
of losing sleep
Over you
I've gotta keep my composure
Don't you see you are torturing me?
Leaving me with no more breath and all that's left is necessaries

Waiting for you to meet me

This crush is going to kill me
come tumbling down like a building
I'll climb whatever you put in front of me
If you let me

You're what I've waited for
You are
You are the missing piece
That I've been searching for
If you let me

Can you live on without me?

I want to see what you're made of
Open up
Perform surgery on your heart
Open it up to see
What love you are capable of

Killing me
So sick of losing sleep
Over you
Leaving me with no more breath and all that's left is necessaries
I'm waiting for you to meet me

This crush is going to kill me
come tumbling down like a building
Ill climb whatever you put in front of me
If you let me

You're what I've waited for
You are
The missing piece
That I've been searching for
If you let me

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance

To live this dream
show you what we can be

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
To live this dream
Inside of me
Yeah

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
To live this dream
Show you what we can be

It's not too late
Give us a chance
Give us a chance
To live this dream




Inside of me
Show you what we can be
