You've got your ball
you've got your chain
tied to me tight tie me up again
who's got their claws
in you my friend
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
and sweet you roll
Lost for you I'm so lost for you

You come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream

Touch your lips just so I know
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare boned and crazy for you
When you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream

If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
to forgive me
in my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
close to me

Oh and you come crash
into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show the world to me
Hike up your skirt a little more
and show your world to me
In a boys dream.. In a boys dream

Oh I watch you there
through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
wear it so well
tied up and twisted
the way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
into me

    General Comment:This song is about bangin' a chick doggy style. "Crash into me" is like when she's backin' that ass up and smacks her backside into your front side. "..and I'll come into you!!" is like when he blows his load inside the chick. Can't see how it could be interpreted any other way. Such a dirty meaning for such a nice sounding song. "Hike up your skirt and show your world to me" is like when she lifts up her skirt to reveal her cooch. Then he slips his hog into her and she pumps on it till he comes inside her. Dave Matthews is the man!

    My Opinion:In my opinion, this song is about a man who is so unashamedly in love with a woman that it's practically an adolescent infatuation - like something you'd find "in a boy's dream".

    He shares the weight of her responsibilities, feels her pain, hears the beating of her heart; he loses himself in the beauty of her movements, desires to see the glow of love in her eyes but mostly he lusts after her in a way that is almost apologetically base.

    This song is delicate, intimate and dirty - it's an honest and playful celebration of lust. And why not?

    Crash into me girl.

    General Comment:My 2 cents. I think he is in jail. Thats why he's looking through a window at her. Touch your lips is a signal from her that she still loves him and is waiting for him. Hike up your skirt is him asking her to show him what he wants, what he had and what he's looking forward to when he is released. Most of the rest is him remembering being with her before jail and what he's fantasizing about when he gets to come home and live the fantasy that has helped him tolerate his jail sentence.

    My Opinion:Like most song interpretations, it's interesting to see other individuals' take on the lyrics.

    I often wonder about the backgrounds and upbringing and experiences of many people who comment here; their comments, (and mine too), are telling of who they are, what they value, what their worldview is, religious or spiritual beliefs, etc.

    This song isn't "dirty." It's sensual.

    I really feel sorry for those who don't live in the sensual world, who regard lyrics with even a hint of sex as "dirty."

    "Hike up your skirt a little more and show the world to me" is purposefully adolescent in its frankness, but it is also the words of a sensual, full grown adult. You can be reactionary and holler it's dirty, but that would be premature. Or, you can chill out and think of the slow love, the sensual love, and the mystery that is a woman.

    Your pick.

    Have a nice day.

    General Comment:ha dirty? who really cares if it is. At least to me it's not offensive. To me this song is about REALLY wanting someone. CRASH INTO ME. I COME INTO YOU. key parts of the song.

    To finish up my comment really wanting someone is the same as your drive to make love with them.

    Ill leave it at that. Peace. Good Song.

    General Comment:There seems to be an argument whether this song is about being in love with a woman that an individual can or cannot have, or some perverted fantasy of an adolescent boy. Okay, Dave Matthews may have "admitted" that this song is about a peeping Tom watching a woman from a distance which may lead some to think is true because Dave said so. It must be true! First of all, when have song lyrics (especially lyrrics to the caliber of singer/songwriters such as Dave Matthews) EVER been about the literal context??? Who gives a damn what he told VH1? You really think he's going to reveal his true thoughts that he had when he wrote the song on some cable channel owned my MTV??? All lyrics is open to interpretation but believe me that this song is NOT about a perverted voyeur teenager. Dave Matthews is a very gifted musician and just like any other talented musician he is not going to reveal something that seems so obvioius. If you are a true Dave Matthews fan you know better than to have such a poor assumption about such a masterpiece.

    General Comment:I think you guys missed the essential point of the song which is that it's the fulfillment of boys dream, years after the fact. That is why it's sentimental and romantic. It's not about that teenage state of mind it's about the teenage dream.

    I also wonder if this song was the inspiration for the movie Crash or if it's based on some other poem about people who wake up when they crash into each other.

    Memory:This song was written about a peeping tom.

    But to me it was my and my first love's song. This was over 10 years ago, but when I listen to it I can still remember dancing with him in his room while he sang in his wonderful voice to me.

    Like most young couples he left me for some other girl he wanted to date, I went a little psycho for a while and eventually got over it.

    But he will always have a special place in my mind and heart :)
