First Crush Lyrics

When I was a boy I thought the world turned its shoulder

Friends grew taller while my heart was growing colder

But then came a bombshell, she was 5 years older

Who sparked a hidden flame

Flawless skin, her hair was ombre

She had a striking strut meant for the runway

And even on the most mundane of Mondays

She had me wide awake

Her jewelry chiming in the east-coast breeze

Made every winter's chill a summer's day with ease

Showed so much skin I wonder how she didn't freeze

At the time I wasn't thinking about it

First crush, you had me stuck

Somewhere between so obsessed and scared of you

First crush, it makes me blush

I made such a fool of myself when I stared at you

First crush, was it lust

That kept me awake with my thoughts undressing you

First crush, I've said too much

But some days you're still on my mind

Her in my head I had no sense of retention

Which led to spending several nights in detention

There I made my plans to get her attention

But I was far too young and shy

When school got out, I walked home the long way

Cause' I had nothing better going on most days

I figured out that if I kept up a good pace

I'd catch her driving by

Cruising the backstreets in her wine-red mustang

Blasting punk radio, she gave herself away

Passing me slowly as she lets her ray-bands hang

I swear one time she winked at me

First crush, you had me stuck

Somewhere between so obsessed and scared of you

First crush, it makes me blush

I made such a fool of myself when I stared at you

First crush, was it lust

That kept me awake with my thoughts undressing you

First crush, I've said too much

But some days you're still on my mind

Last thing I heard she's had a couple of kids now

Works several jobs because her man is not around

Sometimes I wonder if I'll see her again somehow

First crush, you had me stuck

Somewhere between so obsessed and scared of you

First crush, it makes me blush

I made such a fool of myself when I stared at you

First crush, was it lust

That kept me awake with my thoughts undressing you

First crush, I've said too much

But some days you're still on my mind
