I wanted to start posting some covers again. My music taste has evolved quite a lot since I last did some covers. Recently I’ve gotten really into Ethel Cain, and I wanted to cover the first song that really got me into her music. I know she kind of hates this song, because it’s kind of poppy and lacking much deeper meaning, and I can see that, but I don’t think that it should be discredited simply for that reason. It’s still a well written song, and catchy af. Yes, Preacher’s Daughter is definitely more story rich, and lyrically superior, but Crush is still a good song. I’m definitely going to cover some Preacher’s Daughter tracks at some point too, I have a really good cover of Family Tree that's almost done, so subscribe if you want to see that.

In addition I have some songs from other artists planned, as well as some originals. If I remember to update this, I’ll link future stuff down here!

Lyrics
His window's already passed, so he's shooting at the glass
Keeping guns in his locker, and he denies it
Like it's actually important, but he lied 'cause I sure did watch him
Showing up wearing black, and he knows that

His daddy's on death row, but he'll say it with his chest, though
His friends move dope, he hasn't tried coke
But he's always had a problem saying no
His older brother bagged the valedictorian
His mother, steady, screaming he should be more like him

Can you read my mind? I've been watching you
(You know it, you know it, you know it's true)
Couldn't fight to save your life, but you look so cool
Camo' jacket, robbing corner stores
Hard odds to beat when you're on all fours
Good men die too, oh, I'd rather be with you, you, you

I owe you a black eye and two kisses
Tell me when you wanna come and get 'em
I only want him if he says it first to me
I wanna, uh, him in the back of his mom's Mercury
He looks like he works with his hands, and smells like Marlboro Reds
It makes me so, uh, and I can't get enough of it

Something's been feeling weird lately
There's just something about you, baby (there's just something about you, baby)
Maybe I'll just be crazy (I'll be crazy)
And piss him off 'til he hates me

Low slung bad bitch, baby, come and get you some

Can you read my mind? I've been watching you
Couldn't fight to save your life, but you look so cool
(You know it, you know it, you know, oh)
Camo' jacket, robbing corner stores
Hard odds to beat when you're on all fours
Good men die too, so I'd rather be with you, you, you

I'd rather be with you, oh
Oh, I'd rather be with you, oh
'Cause good men die too, so I'd rather be with you
