David Archuleta - Crush Lyrics
I hung up the phone tonight,
something happened for the first time, deep inside
It was 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
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You 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 I do
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin away, goin away
Has it ever crossed your mind when we were hanging
Spending time girl, are we just friends
Is there more, is there more
See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take
Cause I believe 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 I do
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin away, goin away
Why do I keep running from the truth
All I ever think about is you
You 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 realor just another crush
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you
Are you holding back, like the way I do
Cause I’m trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain’t goin away, goin away

a very great song. and the lyrics are impressive =P
makes us sing along and don’t wanna stop listening to it
August 15th, 2008 at 8:16 am
David has delivered an amazing first single to his fans, and the public. It is rhythmic, David’s superior vocals soar and are identifiable throughout, has a catchy beat.. Hey-> I watched lotsa American Bandstand back in the day
His older fans like me find themselves humming along unconsciously, and the verses transport the listener back to those bygone days of school girl and schoolboy CRUSHES… It has an appeal across a very broad spectrum of listeners, and should effectively silence the detractors and critics who didn’t believe he had mainstream appeal. CRUSH is the catapult for David to continue his growth and evolution as an artist - I ANTICIPATE MANY MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING MUSIC FROM HIM.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:47 am
yeah that is an awesome song it is now 1 of my fav’s.
August 15th, 2008 at 10:49 am

omg, I love this song! And David Archuleta is hot..
September 9th, 2008 at 11:30 am
David has a fresh appeal and a talent that cannot be denied. I have been impressed with his growth as a person, and as an artist since his first Idol appearance. It’s good to see someone so young be given an opportunity to realize their dreams, and to have him be as down to earth, humble and as appreciative as his fans are of the success he’s attained. I look forward to buying his album, keeping tabs on his career, and getting to see him perform as a solo artist. WELL DONE David on a great year of surprises and successes - and here’s to many more of the same!
September 12th, 2008 at 1:23 pm
I’m so happy for David’s success with this first song. He is an awesome example for my teenagers. I wish I could thank him personally for the great influence he has been on my family as we have watched him over this last year and grew to love who he is and what he stands for. Don’t ever loose track of who you really are no matter how much sudden success you may see. David has great talent but the spirit he carries with him is even greater.
September 19th, 2008 at 7:58 am
I LOVE DAVID A. and i love this song soooo much because it makes me think of the guy i like a lot!!!!!!!!
September 19th, 2008 at 10:57 pm
I just love David’s new song! I can’t wait until his new CD comes out. He has a great voice and I was brought to tears when watching him perform on Idol. Like Sher says, he carries a great spirit. Keep the songs coming, David.

November 22nd, 2008 at 9:29 am
hey i love love this song my boy sang it to me
November 24th, 2008 at 6:23 pm
I hated him on Idol, he annoyed me and I didn’t think he could sing as well as everyone was making him out to be. It also annoyed the crap out of me that all these little girls were obsessed with him.
I was always (and still am) in love with David Cook and Danny Noriega.
That said; I’m addicted to this song.
I think it’s more of the fact that it fits into my life right now.
I still may not be fond of him, but I think I’ll listen to some more of his music. So far, I like what I hear.
November 24th, 2008 at 7:17 pm
Awesssomee
Totally amazing w/no words needed to be said .
Lyrics / Sound = everything perfect
Great !!~~
November 25th, 2008 at 1:30 am
