Crush
Unflirt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Call me when you feel alone
And I really like you
You don't even try to
Make me feel the way I feel when you're around
And it hurts when you're walking away cause I don't want to
Feel like its slipping away in my mind
Am I wasting my time
I can't hold this no more
Going out of control
You think I'm fine but I know you know
And one day maybe I'll get to
Tell you it face to face
I feel like
I'm running away from you
The lyrics to Unflirt's song "Crush" paint a picture of an individual who has developed strong feelings for someone. The opening suggests that the individual has the person's phone number and wants them to call when they feel lonely, indicating that they are eager to be there for them. The chorus reveals the painful experience of liking someone who may not feel the same way. It says, "And it hurts when you're walking away 'cause I don't want to feel like it's slipping away in my mind. I'm so scared it will be just the same. Am I wasting my time?" This lyric speaks to the fear of being rejected by the person they like and the anxiety that comes with not knowing if their feelings are reciprocated.
The second verse suggests that the feeling of rejection has grown too much to bear, and the individual feels like they are "going out of control." The third line of the verse speaks to the idea that the person they like may not see this struggle as others may think, asking, "You think I'm fine, but I know you know." The bridge offers a glimmer of hope, imagining a time when the feelings can be shared face to face, but the last line of the song reveals that the singer feels like they're "running away from you," indicating that they're unsure if they will ever feel comfortable enough to reveal their feelings.
Overall, "Crush" is a bittersweet song that is relatable to many who have experienced the intense emotions of liking someone from afar but not knowing if those feelings are mutual.
