Crush-Crush-Crush
Paramore · The Final Riot! [2008]
I noticed your eyes are always glued to me
Keeping them here and it makes no sense at all
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth
With their lies, You Little Spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth
With their lies, You Little Spies
Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush-Crush (2-3-4!)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one two
Of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this
If you wanna play it like a game
Well come on come on let's play
Cause I'd rather waste my life pretending
Than have to forget you for one whole minute
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth
With their lies, You Little Spies
They taped over your mouth
Scribbled out the truth
With their lies, You Little Spies
Crush, Crush, Crush, Crush-Crush (2-3-4!)
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one two
Of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, this now
Rock and Roll, Baby
Don't you know that we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and Roll, Hey
Don't you know, Baby, we're all alone now?
I need something to sing about
Rock and Roll, Hey
Don't you know, Baby, we're all alone now?
Gimme something to sing about
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one two
Of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, No-Oh
Nothing compares to
A quiet evening alone
Just the one two
Of us who's counting on
That never happens
I guess I'm dreaming again
Let's be more than, more than this
Oh-Ho, Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh-Ooh
Crush-Crush-Crush
Paramore's 'Crush-Crush-Crush' serves as a dynamic centerpiece on their 2008 album, The Final Riot!. Recorded during the band's transition from pop-punk to a more mature, alternative rock sound, the track showcases frontwoman Hayley Williams' evolving vocal range, blending powerful belting with melodic sensitivity. The song exemplifies the energetic production style that defined the late 2000s indie rock scene, featuring driving rhythms and a polished sonic texture that balanced aggression with emotional vulnerability. As part of their discography leading into Brand New Eyes, the recording reflects the group's commitment to crafting anthemic tracks that resonated with a younger generation while maintaining their signature theatrical intensity.
