Random Snowflakes: David Archuleta : Crush

I'm sure it'd be safe to say that I'm not the only person in the world loving David Archuleta's new single. And, no, before you ask, Crush is not a cover of that song several years ago by Mandy Moore.

David's voice being beautiful is already a given, so let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the song.

Lyrically, I think it's pretty cool how it suits David's age. I mean, seriously. The boy's barely eighteen, and I, for one, would be a little put out if his first single would be about things that a teen-ager couldn't have experienced yet. But then the way the song is written isn't flat and shallow, either. I think the melody helped it, too. It's positive with a teeny tiny helping of angst and uncertainty...like a dash of salt that you can barely notice, but without it the dish would be bland.

Speaking of the melody, I think it totally fits David's range and genre, don't you agree?

Ayt. So without further ado, here's David Arachuleta's Crush for your listening pleasure.

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 can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really 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

Has it ever crossed your mind when were hangin’
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 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 can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really 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 can be
Where this thing can go
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it really 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
(This crush ain’t) Goin’ away
Goin’ away
