Crave You
Heretic Klick 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

Let's just stop and think, before I lose faith
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.

The first verse sets the scene, with the singer asking why she can't be wanted by the person she desires in the same way as other boys.

The chorus reveals the depth of her desire, with the repeated line "Why can't I keep you safe as my own? One moment I have you the next you are gone" portraying the fragility of the situation. The metaphor of the boy having her heart in a silver cage implies a sense of imprisonment and helplessness.


The second verse continues the theme, with the singer describing how she was captivated by the person's gaze when she walked into the room, despite her confident appearance. However, her heart was broken when she realized that his gaze was controlled and unresponsive to her.

Line by Line Meaning

Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
Why don't you desire me like the rest of the boys do?


They stare at me while I stare at you
I look at you while everybody stares at me


Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
Why can't I possess you and protect you always?


One moment I have you the next you are gone
One minute, you are here, and in the next, you are gone


Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
I dance on a vacant stage with rehearsed moves


That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
That boy has locked my heart in a silver jail


It's true I crave you
I actually yearn for you


I walked into the room dripping in gold
I entered the room dressed flamboyantly in gold


A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Many heads turned when I walked in, so they say


My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
I felt hurt when I observed that you were not interested in me


Oh I cannot solve
I can't fathom why you don't like me


Let's just stop and think, before I lose faith
Let us pause and ponder, lest I lose my hope


Surely I can't fall into a game of chase
Without a doubt, I can't participate in this chasing game


Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
That man has me wrapped around his finger


I try to reach out but he's in his own world
I attempt to contact him, but he is engrossed in his own world


This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
This man has twisted my mind with his tricks


I simply want him more because he looks the other way
I desire him more just because he ignores me


I am craving you.
I long for you.
