[Verse 1]
I've been waiting all of my life to tell the story
Better yet to tell her how I feel and I'm sorry
That it had to take me so long to find the words
And the courage just to speak to my girl
I used to love, getting up in the morning
Might be a chance I could see her on the corner
To see her standing there, she waiting for the bus
How I wish that she, she could know my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I just take the chance to speak to her?
I can't keep on just living on a dream
Why, when every fiber in my body screams?
Why am I so afraid to let her know?
If you know what I mean

[Chorus]
Crush, when your wish it never stops
When you find yourself caught up
This how it feels to love
A girl like my high school crush
Need to know I'm not alone
Won't you tell me if you know?
I just want to hold you
A girl like my high school crush
[Verse 2]
She's my ritual, like every morning late for school
Never got no sleep, could nearly weep up my coola
I'm spending every hour I'm awake thinking of us
But, all I really have is 20 minutes on the bus
And I say to myself she's a fantasy
Say to myself you can't believe
That a girl just like that could be alone
What would she want with a man like me?
But she fills me up
How I wish that she, she could know my name

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't I just take the chance to speak to her?
I can't keep on just living on a dream
Why, when every fiber in my body screams?
Why am I so afraid to let her know?
If you know what I mean

[Chorus]
Crush, when your wish it never stops
When you find yourself caught up
This how it feels to love
A girl like my high school crush
Need to know I'm not alone
Won't you tell me if you know?
I just want to hold you
A girl like my high school crush
[Bridge]
You might not understand it, I know
But I don't give a damn, it's my own love
And even if it takes a lifetime, I'll never feel those lips
I'ma stay here hanging on a moment
You might not understand it, I know
But I don't give a damn, it's my own love
And even if it takes a lifetime, I'll never feel those lips
I'ma stay here hanging on a moment

[Chorus]
Crush, when your wish it never stops
When you find yourself caught up
This how it feels to love
A girl like my high school crush
Need to know I'm not alone
Won't you tell me if you know?
I just want to hold you
A girl like my high school crush

[Outro/Verse 1]
I've been waiting all of my life to tell the story
Better yet to tell her how I feel and I'm sorry
That it had to take me so long to find the words
And the courage just to speak to my girl
