Ive been waiting all of my life, to tell the story
better yet to tell her how i feel and im sorry
that it had to take me so long to find them words
and the courage just to speak to my girl
i used to love gettin up in the mornin,
might be a chance i could see her on the corner
to see her standin there she waitin for the bus

how i wish that she, she could know my name
why
cant i just take the chance to speak to her
i cant keep on just livin on a dream
why, when every fiber in my body screams
why am i so afraid to let her know
if you know what i mean
crush, when your wishin never stops
when you find yourself caught up
is this how it feels to love
a girl like my high school crush
crush, need to know im not alone
wont you tell me if you know
I just want to hold you
a girl like my high school crush
shes my ritual like every morning late for school
never got no sleep could barely

im spendin every hour im awake thinkin of us
but

Overall Meaning

Ive been thinkin about everything to say
tryna figure out how to make her stay
ive been practicing in front of the mirror
hoping one day that she'll hear what im sayin

cant i just take the chance to speak to her
i cant keep on just livin on a dream
why, when every fiber in my body screams
why am i so afraid to let her know

a girl like my high school crush

a girl like my high school crush

Joey Moe's "Crush" is a nostalgic and emotional song about the feeling of infatuation and longing for someone one has been crushing on for a long time. He acknowledges that he has been waiting all his life to tell his high school crush how he feels about her, and that he wishes he had the courage to speak to her earlier. Joey describes his morning routine, always hoping to bump into his crush at the bus stop, and the lyrics suggest that he has been constantly thinking about her every waking hour.

The chorus of the song, "Crush, when your wishing never stops, when you find yourself caught up, is this how it feels to love, a girl like my high school crush, crush, need to know I'm not alone, won't you tell me if you know, I just want to hold you," reveals the intensity and innocence of the feeling of a teenage crush. Joey Moe is asking if others have experienced something similar and portrays the longing for human connection and companionship.
