“Crashing” is the second single off of Illenium’s third studio album, Ascend. The song features alt-pop group Bahari as vocalists, released in January of 2019.
The song takes a different approach on Illenium’s typical reminiscent and brooding style of lyrics, and describes a relationship that is fu...
[Verse 1]
Intoxicating, your kiss
Intoxicating, your lips
Nobody does it like this
I find it hard to resist, oh-ooh
Feeling out of control, beautifully so
What's coming over me?
It's a total eclipse of rationality
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't usually say this
I don't usually play this game
Yeah, I know I'm not faded
But it kinda feels that way
I don't usually say this
But I think I should let you know
That baby, baby, I don't, I don't wanna go
[Chorus]
How could I go home when I feel like I belong
In your arms? It's like champagne
Feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Tonight
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Tonight
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh-oh
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Verse 2]
Hey, are you really this good?
Damn, are you really this good?
Baby, you're just like a drug
I'd bottle you up if I could, oh-ooh
Feeling out of control with your chemicals
What's coming over me?
It's a total eclipse of rationality
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't usually say this
I don't usually play this game
Yeah, I know I'm not faded
But it kinda feels that way
I don't usually say this
But I think I should let you know
That baby, baby I don't, I don't wanna go
[Chorus]
How could I go home when I feel like I belong
In your arms? It's like champagne
Feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Tonight
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Tonight
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh-oh
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Bridge]
How could I go home
When you're all I wanna know?
Come on, let me see your bed
It's too late for this to end
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Chorus]
How could I go home when I feel like I belong
In your arms? It's like champagne
Feel it pouring in my veins
Yeah, I got myself too drunk on you to drive
So I'm crashing here tonight
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Tonight
Yeah, I'm crashing here tonight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) Oh-oh
So I'm crashing here tonight

A January 2019 Billboard article quoted Illenium saying:
I really love how this song turned out. I heard the demo a long time ago, and it always really stuck with me. We started working together a few months later, and they played the idea for me again. I was really stoked I was able to be a part o...
