Crush
I hung up the phone tonight,
Something happened for the first time,
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush,
I hang up the phone and smile. She can somehow do this do me. I think about all the good times we've had together as "just friends", always wanting to be more.. or at least I have anyway.
Cause the possibility that
You would ever feel the same away about me,
It's just too much, just too much
"Shane, there's no way she can feel the same way so just let it go alright?!" I yell at one of my best friends.
He stands there just staring at me and grinning. I want to punch him so badly, but I fight it. If I risk our friendship and she rejects me what would happen to us? I always want her in my life. No matter what happens between us. I sigh and put my hands In blue jean pockets as I walk away from the stage.
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
I can't help but wonder, why do I keep running from these feelings? Every time Shane brings up a double date, I just throw a random excuse out there. For some reason, I'm scared. There's really no reason to be though. She's all I ever think about. Her curly hair, her eyes, I get mesmerized just looking at a picture of her. Imagine what it's like hanging around her all the time. Mitchie, Shane's girlfriend, is her best friend. Mitchie convinced our manager to let Caitlyn come with us on tour. Cliché as it sounds, she's the first think I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think about when I drift off to sleep, dreaming only about her.
"Caitlyn.." I say while touching her shoulder, "I need to know something."
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 real or just another crush
"Nate! Hi! What do ya need to now?" She asks excitedly after turning around.
We're outside of the tour bus. She was talking to Mitchie.
It's now or never.. I think to myself before I speak.
"Um.. do you wanna go grab some lunch?" I chicken out.
She smiles at me.
"Sure. See ya Mitch." She says and waves to Mitchie before we walk away.
Do you catch a breath, when I look at you,
Are you holding back, like the way I do,
Cause I'm tryin', tryin' to walk away
But I know this crush aint' goin' away, goin' away
I look at her as we walk towards a restaurant. Where we are going, I have know clue. I hear her talking to me, but I just nod and continue to stare at her. I catch my breath in awe as the wind blows her hair just perfectly. Her curls were flying around her face. I smile and resist the urge to pull her in for a kiss.
"Nate, come on! Taco Bell is this way." She says and pulls me to the right.
I just laugh and let her pull me. I don't think I could ever walk awy from her. This 'little crush' ,as Shane had said when he found out, is never going away I realize as we sit down in a booth. No one recognizes me, because I have on a desguise.
".. and Mitchie was like 'shut up or die'" Caitlyn says while laughing as we wait for food.
I just smile and laugh along. I love her laugh.
Has it ever cross your mind when we're hangin',
Spending time girl,
Are we just friends, is there more, is there more,
This time, I'm not going to chicken out. I decide this after we get our food.
"Caitlyn.. Has it ever crossed your mind that we could be more than just friends?" I blurt out.
She stops eating and looks at me. Eyes wide. My heart is beating wildly in my chest as I wait for her answer.
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
"Yeah. I do. Every night."
Her answer surprises me. I look at her in shock.
"You d-do?" I stutter.
She blushes and nods in response.
"I think about it, too. Every night. Everyday. I think this could last 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
She looks up at me in shock. Surprise written all over her face.
"Let's go for a walk." I suggest after a few minutes of silence.
She says, "Okay." Quietly.
I throw our food away and walk back over to her. Caitlyn is still sitting down. I offer my hand to help her up. She takes it and smiles at me. I smile back. My heartbeat is still beating wildly in my chest. We keep holding hands as we walk out of Taco Bell.
Do you catch your 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 aint going away, going away
"Did you know I catch my breath when you look at me?" She says quietly, but loud enough that I hear her.
"Really?" I say with a smile in my voice.
I look at her and I see her blushing. I smile.
"Yeah."
"This crush isn't going away. I really like you, Caitlyn." I say and pull her to a stop.
"I really like you, too Nate." She says and we both lean in for a kiss.
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
We kissed and I felt fireworks go off. If the world stopped spinning at that moment, we didn't notice, nor would we care.
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
We pull away and I smile.
"Caitlyn, will you be my girlfriend?" I ask nervously.
"Yes! Yes!" She yells and laughs.
I smile goofily. I laugh and we lean and kiss.
Is it really just another crush
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you
"This isn't just any kind of crush, Caitlyn. I love you." I say after we pull away.
"I love you, too Nate." She says instantly, no hesitation in her voice.
Are you holding back
Like the way I do
Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush aint going away
We both know that this "little crush" will never go away. We finally are together. I smile as it starts to rain, but we don't care. We start kissing and get caught up in the moment.
This crush aint going away
Going away
Going away
