[Verse 1]
I can't wait to memorize this day
Oh, a picture could not contain the way it feels
You say, "Live in the present"
I'm already dreamin' of how it begins
And tryin' to savor the moment
But I know the feelin' will come to an end
[Chorus]
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I
Just for a second, it all felt simple
I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
[Verse 2]
I romanticize even the worst of times
When all it took to make me cry was bein' alive
Look up and see a reflection
Of someone who never gave way to the pain
What if I told 'em that now that I'm older
There isn't a moment that I'd wanna change?
I can't wait to memorize this day

[Chorus]
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I

I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
[Verse 2]
I romanticize even the worst of times

Look up and see a reflection
Of someone who never gave way to the pain
What if I told 'em that now that I'm older
There isn't a moment that I'd wanna change?
[Chorus]
Now I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I
Just for a second, it all felt simple
I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
[Bridge]
Any second, feel the present
Future and the past connectin'
Any second, feel the present
Future and the past connectin'
[Chorus]
Crave, crave
To do it again (To do it), all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I
Just for a second, it all felt simple
I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
Now I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I
Just for a second, it all felt simple
I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again
[Bridge]
Any second, feel the present
Future and the past connectin'
Any second, feel the present
Future and the past connectin'
[Chorus]
Crave, crave
To do it again (To do it), all again
Crave, crave
To do it again, I
Just for a second, it all felt simple
I'm already missin' it
So I crave, crave
To do it again, all again

Genius Answer
When the guys showed me “Crave” I was pumped because we haven’t had anything that sonically felt like that in a really long time. We don’t like to give too much credit to nostalgia, we like to move forward. But with the music, you couldn’t escape that feeling. I was just thinking about why I always miss the moment that I’m in because I’m too worried about when it’s going to be over.
