Crush Lyrics
[Intro]
Uh, alright
[Verse 1]
I can't focus on what needs to get done
I'm on notice hoping that you don't run, ah
You think I'm tepid but I'm misdiagnosed
'Cause I'm a stalker, I seen all of your posts, ah-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just tryna play it cool now
But that's not what I wanna do now
And I'm not tryna be with you now, you now
Mhm
[Verse 2]
You make it difficult to not overthink
And when I'm with you I turn all shades of pink, ah
I wanna touch you but don't wanna be weird
It's such a rush, I'm thinking wish you were here, ah-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just tryna play it cool now
But that's not what I wanna do now
And I'm not tryna be with you now, you now
[Chorus]
But I could be your crush, like, throw you for a rush, like
Hopin' you'd text me so I could tell you
I been thinking 'bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Makin' me feel like you're on my island
You're my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
Sorry
[Verse 3]
I fill my calendar with stuff I can do
Maybe if I'm busy it could keep me from you
And I'm pretendin' you ain't been on my mind
But I took an interest in the things that you like, ah-ah
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just tryna play it cool now
But that's not what I wanna do now
And I'm not tryna be with you now, you now
[Chorus]
But I could be your crush, like, throw you for a rush, like
Hopin' you'd text me so I could tell you
I been thinkin' 'bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Makin' me feel like you're on my island
You're my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
[Bridge]
And yeah, it's true that I'm a little bit intense, right
But can you blame me when you keep me on the fence, like?
And I've been waitin', hopin' that you'd wanna text like
Text like
It's what I was born to do
And yeah, it's true that I'm a little bit intense, right
But can you blame me when you keep me on the fence, like?
And I've been waitin', hopin' that you'd wanna text like (Hey!)
Text like
Ugh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm just tryna play it cool now
But that's not what I wanna do now
And I'm not tryna be with you now, you now
[Chorus]
But I could be your crush, like, throw you for a rush, like
Hopin' you'd text me so I could tell you
I been thinkin' 'bout your touch like
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
I got a fascination with your presentation
Makin' me feel like you're on my island
You're my permanent vacation
Touch, touch, touch, touch, touch
I could be your crush, crush, crush, crush, crush
Sorry

What inspired this song?
When I was writing the album, I was trying to be really disciplined and write every day from 10:00 to 3:00 or 9:00 to 2:00. I just wanted to make sure that I was writing a half song a day, if it was good, if it was bad, at least I was practicing the skill of writing. So this particular day, I’d been...
What was the songwriting process like?
I wrote this in Nashville. In my home. I wrote this in my living room. So that first day I wrote all the verses and the pre chorus for the song about just trying to be so cool, and the trying to be like “Oh don’t worry, I’m not trying to be with you, I’m just like if we could just flirt a little bi...
Did your crush ever hear the song?
No. Oh my gosh. Did I play this song for the crush? Absolutely not. I made that mistake with a different song, and I have another song called “Bad Ideas,” and I played that for him.
