I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And a phone to the other
And I can't get a hold of her
And what's a crush to do?
What's a crush to do when he can't get through?

Medically speaking you're adorable
And from what I hear you're quite affordable
But I like them pricey
So exaggerate and t-t-t-t-t-t-trick me
Pretty please, just trick me
Pretty please

I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And a phone to the other
And I can't get a hold of her
And what's a crush to do
What's a crush to do when he can't get, through?

I'm obsessed and stressed with this mess
I can't think of things
To write down
To type down
And these fingertips are moving faster than these lips
So you can only imagine how jealous my mouth is
So you can only imagine how jealous my mouth is

I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And a phone to the other
And I can't get a hold of her
And what's a crush to do
What's a crush to do?
What's a crush to do?

I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And what's a crush,
And what's a crush to do?

Yeah (yeah)
Yeah
Oh
I turn on a dime, spin me around
So you can shine, shine right now
We'll even have a crowd
We'll make this purchase count

Medically speaking you're adorable
And from what I hear you're quite affordable
But I like them pricey
So exaggerate and t-t-t-t-t-t-trick me

I got birds in my ears
And a devil on my shoulder
And what's a crush to do?
And what's a crush to do?

I got birds in my ears (I got birds in my ears)
And a devil on my shoulder (And a devil on my shoulder)
And what's a crush to do
When he can't get through, when he can't get a hold of her?

What's a crush, what's a crush to do?

    My Interpretation:I'm obsessed and stressed with this mess,
    i can't think of things
    to write down,
    to type down.
    and these fingertips are moving faster than these lips.
    so you can only imagine how jealous my mouth is.

    The first part of this song reminds me of my Freshman year crush. And there is no way this song can be about a prostitute, it's too deep and reminds me of my entire freshman year. Whoever thinks about it's prostitution, yank that stick out of your ass and wake up!

    My Interpretation:Sounds like he maybe met a prostitute online and talked with her, then developed a crush on her. sounds like either she's busy with her job and can't talk on the phone/internet, or she doesn't want to keep contact with him because of his unhealthy crush on her.

    General Comment:Shaant announced at a concert that it was about a prostitute he never met...

    i think all his friends are telling him not to be with her, but he hangs out with her even tho he knows its wrong. he's crushing on her and always wanting to talk to her, but she's always out with some guy doing her job. he obviously thinks she's adorable. she's a slut, but he wants her to be hard to get. he's so obsessed with her that he's having trouble writing about anything except her. he's like going down on her but he just wants to kiss her, like a real relationship but it can't be like that. he wants to show her off so she can shine, take her out on dates, and make her his girlfriend

    lol this is kinda weird but this song reminds me of my bf because some people say he's a bad influence, and i know he's hurt people before but idc, like Shannt doesn't care that being with her is hurting himself. and he hangs out with other friends (who are girls) instead of me sometimes. he basically dates anyone and thats why i waited for him to ask me out first because i didn't want him to say yes just because he likes having girlfriends. and i always think about him too much, and im obsessed & stressed with the fact that he hasnt kissed me and its been a month and i feel like he could break up with me any moment because idk if he's serious because he hasn't kissed me.

    General Comment:it is "jealous"..
    when he says it the first time,
    it sounds like it might "unjealous",
    and it might be,
    but when he says it the second time and gets louder,
    im 99.9% sure that he says "jealous"
