Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Burning so bright but still so fast
Will it burn out or will it last

I see a star so bright in your eyes
I feel the love of a dangerous kind
I try to reach you with my heart

You know I know you know

Crave your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mortal Love's song Crave Your Love depict the intensity and fragility of a new romance. The opening line of "burning so bright but still so fast" conveys the passionate and fleeting nature of a relationship that is just beginning. The second line "will it burn out or will it last" acknowledges the uncertainty that comes with investing in a new love, and the fear that it may not endure. Despite this, the singer is drawn to the other person and desires to know whether they are both ready for the intensity of the love that is blooming.

The chorus of the song, "crave your love," sums up the obsessive, all-consuming feeling of infatuation that the singer is experiencing. The second verse speaks of seeing a "star so bright" in the other person's eyes, further emphasizing their irresistible pull towards one another. The line, "I try to reach you with my heart" hints at a feeling of vulnerability, suggesting that the singer may be hesitant to fully open up to the other person even as they feel drawn to them.
