Crave You Lyrics
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
It's true I crave you
Crave You
It's true I crave you
Let's just stop and think, before I lose faith
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
I am craving you
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
Yeah dripping in gold
I walked into the room dripping in gold
Dripping in gold
A wave of heads did turn, or so I've been told
Or so I've been told
My heart broke when I saw you kept your gaze controlled
Oh I cannot solve
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you
Crave You
It's true I crave you
Surely I can't fall, into a game of chase
Around his little finger, that boy has got me curled
I try to reach out, but he's in his own world
This boy's got my head tied in knots with all his games
I simply want him more because he looks the other way
They stare at me while I stare at you
Why can't I keep you safe as my own?
One moment I have you the next you are gone
Rehearsed steps on an empty stage
That boy's got my heart in a silver cage
Why can't you want me like the other boys do?
They stare at me while I crave you

Love it, I think any girl can relate to it at some point. And it's so catchy!
I think this song is about a beautiful girl who never had a problem with catching boys eyes. Everytime she gets ready for a party she knows she won't have to dance on her own. But there is this one guy she really likes. Once they were making out but she wasn't very nice and she treated him just like the other boys. Later she realized that this was a mistake but he's not interested anymore. She tries to win him back, uses much make-up and dresses very flirty but he gives a shit. It's like she wants what she can't have and that's a terrible feeling.
Dripping in gold is British slang. To be "dripping in" something means to be wearing a lot of something. In other words, she got all dressed up in her gold jewelry and heads turned but not his.
This song is beautiful and yes so easy to relate to. My boyfriend has depression and when it flares up, pushes me away and ignores me no matter how much I dress up and try to get him to open up
I LOL quite hard when I first heard this song. So charming, quirky lyrics.
The dubstep version by adventure club makes me want to do a strip tease for someone special ;)
Funny you should say that, I actually discovered this song (in that dubstep version) from a stripping video ^^

Oh, I love this song and indeed, so easy to relate to.
I wish that boy would stare back at me too, and see how much I'd do for him.
It's about a girl who likes another girl but the girl doesn't know that it's a girl because it has really short hair and neither are lesbians so it wouldn't work.
(This is actually the true meaning.)
lol. what the hell? that's the best you could come up with?

I don't know @leavesintheriver, maybe it's because I didn't come up with it and it's actually true.

That's a really gross word that a lot of people seem to retaliate with. Lol. Sorry, but you said "(This is actually the true meaning.)". Lyrics aside, I can see how in the video maybe, since the guy is actually played by a girl in real life, or you could read "it" as being a very boyish girl & the other girl mistakenly likes her thinking she's male. My point is that you seemed pretty certain to say that is the true meaning of the song when it was written. Cheers Mr. Benkins.

if you're referring to the music video, music videos don't always reflect the meaning of the song..

The dub step version is AMAZING! Also IMO if you are dripping in gold & wearing a knock out outfit & everyone else is staring but the guy you want because he keeps his "gaze controlled" he is either just not into you or into other options.
in the line "Let's just stop and think, before I lose face" Face should be Faith
The dubstep version of this by adventure club is sick
