Crush

Only one vowel difference to »crash«, but the effect is almost certainly the same.

Know this as an immutable truth of the universe: Every American boy had a crush on Tinker Bell.

i got an orange crush. i stuck it in my pants and rode away on my big fat banana seat bike.

i got an orange crush. i drank it on the dirty cigarette-strewn sand.

i got an orange crush. i put it in the fridge. i drank it in an ice-cream float and then went to take a wiz.

i got an orange crush. i fed it to a plant. i crushed the can beneath my vans and kicked it to the trees.

i got an orange crush. i drink one everyday.

This is for all the headless acrobats,
Faces crushes in the circus dust.
All in the name of Gravity
And the price of admission

Beautiful loser, warm hearts have left you down
Beautiful loser, warm hearts have left you...
'cause you're beautiful

I think of mankind in quotation marks
ever since I took a drink from you.

Jeff Buckley, lyrics taken from Moodswing Whiskey.

Well, I've got a crush on a girl that I've never really talked to, and probably never will. She lives in a different city which is unknown to me, and will soon be going home. So... where does this feeling come from? Is it purely a physical attraction? And why the hell do we call it a »crush?« Curse you, Seventeen Magazine!
