The Unyielding Power of a First Crush

David Archuleta's song "Crush" delves into the intense emotions and uncertainties that come with experiencing a first crush. The lyrics capture the whirlwind of feelings that arise when someone realizes they might have deeper feelings for a friend. The song begins with the protagonist hanging up the phone and feeling a rush of emotions, indicating that something significant has shifted within them. This rush is tied to the possibility that the other person might reciprocate their feelings, which is both exhilarating and overwhelming.

The chorus of the song highlights the internal conflict and confusion that often accompanies a crush. The protagonist questions whether their feelings are genuine love or just a fleeting infatuation. They wonder if the other person ever thinks about the potential of their relationship when they are alone. This uncertainty is compounded by the physical reactions they experience, such as catching their breath when they look at the person they like. The protagonist is also aware of their own attempts to suppress these feelings, but they acknowledge that the crush is persistent and won't easily fade away.

In the second verse, the protagonist reflects on the time spent with the person they have a crush on and questions whether their relationship is purely platonic or if there is potential for something more. They express a desire to take a chance on their feelings, believing that it could lead to a lasting and meaningful relationship. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the protagonist's struggle to understand and navigate their emotions. Ultimately, the song captures the universal experience of having a crush and the hope, confusion, and excitement that come with it.
