Krush

(album: What We Did Today - 2017)

I can still see you
In your beautiful pea-green boat
Standing in the bow
With a miniature silver Jesus
Hanging at your throat
Love was so inaccessible
Like a castle with a lava moat
Tell me what can you do
When it's all too tangible
And your younger self
Don't know how to cope

All that year I was kicking myself
Cos I never could have loved you more
You were just a public school posh
But never cut glass, no
Tear it out my chest
And you can tie it to the mast, yeah

It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was only
Young dopamine
Sinking like a submarine
Just like a memory
When you duck and disappear
Into a hazy shade of summer

I can still see you
Riding through the yard
With no hands on the handle bars
Expensive confidence
Unaware of consequence
So sure of your place in this world
You were like the heir to the Greenleaf fortune
And you chose my sister over me
But I can hardly go about blaming you
Back then everybody did
You were a fully fledged
Solid gold demi-god
And I was just another snotty kid
Trying to be rid
Of this thorn in my side

All that year I was kicking myself
Cos I never could have loved you more
You were just a public school posh
But never cut glass, no
Tear it out my chest
And you can tie it to the mast, yeah

It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was only
Young dopamine
Sinking like a submarine
Just like a memory
When you duck and disappear
Into a hazy shade of summer

So many days have gone
And I realised somewhere along the line
That you're sharing a name with my son

All that year I was kicking myself
Cos I never could have loved you more
You were just a public school posh
But never cut glass, no
Tear it out my chest
And you can tie it to the mast, yeah

All that year I was kicking myself
Cos I never could have loved you more
You were just a public school posh
But never cut glass, no
Tear it out my chest
And you can tie it to the mast, yeah

It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was only
Young dopamine
Sinking like a submarine
Just like a memory
When you duck and disappear
Into a hazy shade of summer

Into a hazy shade of summer

It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was just a crush
It was just a
[x4]

Crush! (Crush, crush)
Crush!
