David Archuleta - Crush Lyrics
Lyrics
Oooooh ohhhhh
Oooooh ohhhhh
I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush (what a rush)
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much (just too much)
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You've got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you?
Are you holding back
Like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away
Going away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hangin', spendin' time
Girl, are we just friends?
Is there more?
Is there more?
See, it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe
That we can make this into
Something that will last
Last forever
Forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away
Going away
Why do I keep running from the truth? (why do I keep running)
All I ever think about is you (all I ever think about)
You've got my hypnotized (hypnotized), so mesmerized (mesmerized)
And I just got to know
Do you ever think (ever think) when you're all alone (all alone)
All that we could be, where this thing could go? (go)
Am I crazy or falling in love? (crazy)
Is it real or just another crush? (another crush, yeah, yeah)
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away (whoa)
But I know this crush ain't goin' away (this crush ain't)
Goin' away
Goin' away
Goin' away

Meaning & Inspiration
David Archuleta's "Crush," released on October 3, 2009, offers a captivating exploration of nascent affection, a feeling many can relate to as they navigate the complexities of human connection. The song beautifully captures that exhilarating, almost overwhelming sensation of developing feelings for someone, a "crush" that occupies one's thoughts and stirs the soul. It speaks to the vulnerability and excitement that accompany discovering a potential deep connection, the kind that can feel both wondrous and a little frightening. This experience of being captivated by another person's presence and character resonates deeply, mirroring, in a way, the profound awe and wonder that can accompany encountering the divine. As we seek to understand our relationships with others, we can also reflect on how we are drawn to God's love and grace.
The song's narrative unfolds as a tender confession of burgeoning admiration, a desire to know someone more fully and to have that feeling reciprocated. It’s a universal human experience, the longing for a connection that transcends casual acquaintance, a desire to be seen and cherished. In a similar vein, the Scriptures often describe a deep yearning for closeness with God, a desire for a relationship that is all-consuming and transformative. Consider, for instance, the psalmist's fervent cry in Psalm 42:1, "As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God." This intense seeking, this pouring out of the heart, finds an echo in the earnestness of Archuleta's "Crush." The song’s simple yet powerful message of attraction and the hope for a shared future can be seen as a reflection of our innate desire for meaningful, lasting relationships, a desire that finds its ultimate fulfillment in God's unfailing love and promises. When we experience that pull towards someone, that feeling that they are special, it can serve as a reminder of the even greater, more profound affection God has for us, a love that is consistently available and eternally faithful. The pursuit of understanding and cherishing another person is a beautiful part of the human journey, and it also calls us to consider how we cherish and seek to understand God's boundless love for us, as illuminated in passages like Ephesians 3:17-19, which speaks of being rooted and grounded in love, able to comprehend the breadth, length, depth, and height of Christ's love.
