Craving You
Rhett Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm counting down until we say hello
Every touch is like the strongest drug
I don't know how much longer I can go
I never had something that I can't walk away from
Well, girl, my self control's so paralyzed
When it comes to you, no, I ain't got no patience
You're like that cigarette
That shot of hundred proof
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving
That feeling when we kiss
The way your body moves
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving you
Craving you
All the in between is killing me
You know I come unglued from missing you
Sunset eyes, no, I don't have to try
Because you know exactly what to do
I never had something that I can't walk away from (walk away from)
But, girl, my self control's so paralyzed
When it comes to you, no, I ain't got no patience (I ain't got no patience)
There's something 'bout you that I just can't fight
You're like that cigarette
That shot of hundred proof
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving
That feeling when we kiss
The way your body moves
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving you
Craving you (I'm always craving you)
Craving you
Craving you
Every time we have to say goodbye
I'm counting down until we say hello
Every touch is like the strongest drug
I don't know how much longer I can go
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
You're like that cigarette
That shot of hundred proof
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving
That feeling when we kiss
The way your body moves
No matter how much I get
I'm always craving you, yeah
Craving you
Craving you (I'm craving you, baby)
Craving you
Craving you, babe
The song "Craving You" by Rhett Thomas talks about the powerful hold that a person can have over someone, specifically the one he craves for. Every time they have to say goodbye, he starts counting down the minutes until they can say hello again. Every touch of that person is like a strong drug that he can't get enough of. He admits that he has never had something that he can't walk away from, but when it comes to this girl, he has no self-control. The singer is fighting against his feelings, but he finds himself uncontrollably craving her like a cigarette or a shot of 100 proof liquor. He's always wanting more, and even though he knows he should walk away, he can't help but crave her more each day.
Throughout the song, Rhett Thomas uses an extended metaphor, comparing the girl he craves for to cigarettes and alcohol. Though he knows that he shouldn't have either, he finds himself unable to resist the temptation of either one. Similarly, even though he knows that this person is not good for him, he finds himself unable to resist her. The in-between moments without her are killing him, and he feels a deep sense of longing for her. She is like a drug that he cannot give up, and every interaction with her only makes him crave her more. Thomas admits that he's falling hard for this girl, even though he knows that it's not a good idea.
Overall, "Craving You" is a song about intense desire and the hold that certain people can have over us. It's about that one person who we know is no good for us, but we just can't help but want more of them. Rhett Thomas' vivid metaphors and emotional delivery make this song a powerful ode to the people who can drive us to the edge of sanity.

Thomas Rhett+ Maren Morris= Greatness. I love how their voices fit so perfectly together. Also, I appreciate how Rhett put his wife. Most videos have actors or some sort of model. I can't wait till the movie 😉😂❤
