Crush
Mari Iijima Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like you
I like you a lot
But I'm not sure if it's meant to be or not
Yeah, you can say
Say we're together
But no one's said a word about the word forever

It's just a crush I'm feelin'
Walkin' on the ceilin'
And my whole world's upside-down
It's just a crush, I know it
Don't know where we're goin'
But I'm likin' where we are right now
It's too soon to be too much
Not ready to call it love
It's just a crush

You might be
Might be the one
But let's not rush it, let's not jump the gun
Sometimes love is just an illusion
Let's make it clear, just so there's no confusion

It's just a crush I'm feelin'
Walkin' on the ceilin'
And my whole world's upside-down
It's just a crush, I know it
Don't know where we're goin'
But I'm likin' where we are right now
It's too soon to be too much




Not ready to call it love
It's just a crush
