Crush'd Lyrics
When I was eight years old,
Before puberty took hold,
I thought I'd end up beside a princess bride
And love was indivisible.
Never mind how my taste reflects
A disturbing oedipal complex,
It's not awkward girl,
The compliments are coming next.
You're no witch,
You're no wench,
You're like Bjork with better fashion sense,
So I phone 50-Cents
And I'm building up my confidence.
Respect to your work,
You're an artist, I'm a silly jerk.
I think that dynamic could work.
So work it.
I have a total crush on you, baby
And I can't let it go, oh no.
I have a total crush on you, baby
Baby, if only I could let you know.
When we spoke, no joke
I started shedding slutty girls like snakeskin,
My collection acquired through shallow misdirection
And as I drive tonight,
West coast sky daring me to try,
I feel alive tonight,
The possibility that I'm your guy.
Though I suffer from dyslexia
And mild manorexia,
My hair cannot commit to one popular genre of music
And though they all claim
That a girl can't take her boy's last name
Or end up divorced and estranged.
I'm counting on you.
I have a total crush on you, baby
And I can't let it go, oh no.
I have a total crush on you, baby
Baby, if only I could...
Your other suitors are no poets
They're only actors who can play guitar
Have I won your heart?
They're not students or screenwriters
They're only models that they taught to read
Love, would you agree?
I have a total crush on you, baby.
And I can't let it go, oh no
I have a total crush on you, baby
Baby, if only I could...
Quite sure you love me, Sherri
Quite sure I love you too
We'll each should make a verbal agreement
To only kiss each other
Because one time, beneath the sky
Outside my New York pigsty
I saw a vision of you and I
Ha ha!
Did it hurt?
Did it hurt?
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, girl?
Did it hurt?
Did it hurt?
Did it hurt when you fell from heaven, girl?

sherri&max<3
a phone, fifty cents, and im building up my confidence
im being retarded right now but why cant a girl take her boys last name? isnt that what you do in marriage. or his he meaning cause she was already married once people would be against her being married again to him?
Max is married, so I'm pretty sure he doesn't believe that. He says "they" so I'm thinking he is speaking to people who told him not to get married, or just people in general that think marriage is pointless.

His wife didn't take his last name, and he's talking about how other people said that she didn't love him, so by not taking his name, it makes divorce more convenient.

sherri did take max's last name
sherri did take max's last name
women do usually take the last name of their husband, and sherri did take max's last name. what he's saying is that people now think that if a woman takes the man's last name, it's a sign of weakness and submission to her husband, and max is saying that's not true, it's just a sign of their love. sherri thinks the same way, so max is counting on her to prove "them" wrong by showing that she can take his last name and still remain an equal in their marriage.

I am almost positive that the only deeper meaning that line has is about how marriage ruins relationships, and how he's saying it won't happen between them. It's a pretty common belief, about how all the passion goes out of a relationship after marriage.

aww Bemis has written much better love songs than this! I'd expect more from the one about his wife...
The acoustic version of this song trumps all over the album version.
