Crush
The Juliet Dagger Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

See ya blowing me a kiss
It doesn't take a scientist
To understand what's going on baby
If you see something in my eye
Let's not over analyze
Don't go too deep with it baby
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me

Here's what I do, I play it loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

[Chorus]
It's just a little crush
Not like I faint every time we touch
It's just some little thing
Not like everything I do depends on you

It's raising my adrenaline
You're banging on a heart of tin
Please don't make too much of it baby
Say the word forevermore
That's not what I'm looking for
All I can commit to is maybe
So let it be what it'll be
Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Here's what I do, I play it loose
Not like we have a date with destiny

[Chorus]

Vanilla skies, white picket fences in your eyes
A vision of you and me

[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In the song "Crush" by The Juliet Dagger, the singer is addressing someone whom they have romantic feelings for. The song explains that the singer is aware of the attraction between them, but doesn't want to over-analyze it. They don't want to make too much of the situation or get too carried away with their feelings. Instead, they want to "play it loose" and let things progress naturally. The singer acknowledges that they don't have a "date with destiny," meaning that they don't know where this attraction will lead and they don't want to put any pressure on it.

The chorus of the song reiterates the singer's point that their feelings are not all-consuming. They have "just a little crush" and it's not as if "everything [they] do depends on" the person they have feelings for. The song is about being cautious and not allowing oneself to get too carried away with romance.

In the bridge, the lyrics switch to describing the person the singer has a crush on. They are described as having "vanilla skies" and "white picket fences in your eyes," which could be interpreted as a sense of domesticity or normalcy. The singer has a vision of being with this person, but they still don't want to build up too many expectations.

Line by Line Meaning

See ya blowing me a kiss
You're showing me affection

It doesn't take a scientist
It's not complicated

To understand what's going on baby
To figure out what's happening between us

If you see something in my eye
If you notice something in my gaze

Let's not over analyze
Don't scrutinize it too much

Don't go too deep with it baby
Don't delve into it too much

So let it be what it'll be
Let things happen naturally

Don't make a fuss and get crazy over you and me
Don't make a big deal out of us

Here's what I do, I play it loose
I take things lightly

Not like we have a date with destiny
There's no pressure on us

It's just a little crush
It's just a small attraction

Not like I faint every time we touch
It's not an overwhelming feeling

It's just some little thing
It's insignificant

Not like everything I do depends on you
I don't rely on you for everything

It's raising my adrenaline
It's exciting me

You're banging on a heart of tin
You're breaking through my guarded heart

Please don't make too much of it baby
Please don't make it a big deal

Say the word forevermore
Talk of forever is not what I want

That's not what I'm looking for
A long-term commitment is not what I want

All I can commit to is maybe
I'm not sure what the future holds

Vanilla skies, white picket fences in your eyes
You give me a sense of safety and security

A vision of you and me
I can see us together
