You know, you know how dark I am
When you take my hand
I am finally light
I fall down, I fall down so many times
Remind me how you are mine
Oh, how that heals me
I’m falling fast now for you babe
You know if you leave how I will cave without you
Raise my hands
Pull me against you
I know you hear me
Our love is bittersweet
I crave you, I crave you
I feel, I feel like I’m frozen in ice
I stare as you walk by
Now I am thawing
You are sugar, cinnamon, honey so sweet
Don’t know what you do to me
I am higher
I’m falling fast now for you babe
You know if you leave how I will cave without you
Raise my hands
Pull me against you, oh
I know you hear me
Our love is bittersweet
I crave you, oh, I crave you
You know, you know how fragile I am
So don’t drop me
Don’t drop me
You know, you know how delicate I feel
So don’t hurt me
Don’t hurt me
Raise my hands
Pull me against you, oh
I know you hear me
Your love is bittersweet
I crave you, oh, I crave you
Exploring Vulnerability and Desire
“Crave You” by Chappell Roan is a heartfelt exploration of intimacy, vulnerability, and longing. The lyrics vividly portray the experience of feeling incomplete without a loved one—how another person’s presence can illuminate even the darkest parts of ourselves. The recurring admission of fragility and the plea not to be hurt or dropped underscores a deep sense of trust and the risks involved in loving wholeheartedly. With rich imagery like being thawed from ice and references to sweetness, Roan captures the intoxicating blend of comfort and need that defines passionate romance. The chorus, repeating the phrase “I crave you,” solidifies the song as an anthem of yearning and emotional surrender.
