Crave you
Flight Facilities Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

It's true I crave you
Crave you
It's true I crave you

Na na na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na na na
Crave you
Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na na na

Let's just stop and think
Before I lose face
Surely I can't fall
Into a game of chase
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you





I am craving you

Overall Meaning

Flight Facilities's song "Crave you" is a song about unrequited love. The singer is describing their desire for another person who is seemingly uninterested in them. The song opens with the lines "Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you". They are expressing their confusion as to why this person doesn't reciprocate their feelings. They then go on to say, "Why can't I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you the next you are gone". This portrays the unpredictability of relationships and how they can be fleeting.


The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Why can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I crave you" which emphasizes the singer's desire for this person. The line "That boy's got my heart in a silver cage" can be read as the other person having power over the singer's emotions, leaving them feeling trapped and unable to escape their feelings.


The second verse introduces the idea of the singer being infatuated with the other person's appearance. They describe themselves as "dripping in gold" and catching the attention of the other people in the room. However, despite this attention, the singer's gaze remains fixed on the person they are enamored with. The bridge of the song sees the singer questioning their own feelings and whether they should continue pursuing the other person despite the potential for heartbreak.


Overall, "Crave you" is a relatable song about the pain of unrequited love and the difficulty of moving on from someone who doesn't feel the same way.
