Story Behind The Song

I had a crush on a friend who was in a relationship and I was terrified that they find out and our friendship is destroyed, but part of me wandered if they knew if they would reciprocate my feelings, as the song says would they want to kiss me or kill me

Song Description

Even though the music is quite upbeat and pop the lyrics are quite dark, A crush bordering on obsession has taken over me. I can't get this person out of my head and due to complicated circumstances I am not sure how they would take it if they knew. The verse sets out this fear and the chorus is all about trying to conceal these feelings, an impossibility when they are so strong and the fear if the object of my affection realises, when they look in my eyes it is hard to hide.

Lyrics

I watch you when you're not aware,
By the T.V, doing up your hair,
Your lights are on,
I stand outside and stare,
Just to be close,
Breathe in the same air,

Kiss me or kill me,
Murder, marry me,
If you knew how I feel nightmare or a dream,

Every time you look me in the eye,
I'm scared you can read my mind,

A little bit too sexy ooh la la,
A little bit too animal I just can't stop,
Defying gravity not to find you hot,
Guilty pleasure you're all I've got,

Out on the town, they're queueing up,
You know the lines yeah you can talk the talk,
So I walk over buy your boy a shot,
When it is me, oh yes it's me I pray you want,

G.U.I.L.T.Y I'd spell it out for you but we'd get in a fight,
It's not the done thing the way to be,
When people like me come from round here

Pick me up don't put me down again,
Show you love but you'll only be my friend,
One way love has never felt so good,
A compliment can be so misunderstood
