Story Behind the Song
As always, Kris was messing around with a new guitar riff and after listening to it, Todd suggested that he speed it up a bit and "Crazy Lost" was born. The two worked out a bridge and chorus within a couple of hours. Words from two separate songs that Todd was working on were integrated and a catchy da, da, da, da, da, da was added to complete the lyrics.
Todd and Kris purposely tried to make the song musically complex and jammy. The different overlapping rhythms were even more pronounced once the drums and bass were added. The song's danceability increased even more once the patterns were integrated together. A few weeks before the song was recorded, Dennis suggested that the hook of the song be emphasized a bit more by creating a full band pause each time the song returned and played the hook one time at the beginning of each verse. Lyrics, once again, are open to interpretation. n
Lyrics
Soul piercing eyes and your radiant smile
Make me wanna stay with you for a while
You know I get butterflies when you walk in the room
And girl, I'm mesmorized by the smell of your perfume
I feel like I knew you in another life
Girl, in this one I'm gonna make you mine, make you mine, make you mine
Da da da, da da da (4 x’s)
Don't you know, look into my eyes
Don't you know, I can make it right
Can’t you see, oh it’s right here
Can’t you see, that I'm crazy lost, crazy lost, crazy lost
You know I was floored when you came to me to say
You wanna be with me girl everynight and everyday
And I'm in another world or at least somewhere in the clouds
Girl, that's how I feel evertime you’re around
And I feel like I knew you in another life
Girl, in this one I'm gonna make you mine, make you mine, make you mine
Da da da, da da da (4 x’s)
Don't you know, look into my eyes
Don't you know, I can make it right
Can’t you see, oh it’s right here
Can’t you see, that I'm crazy lost, crazy lost, crazy lost
Girl, I can't believe you're here, can’t believe you're here with me
The angels in heaven are shining down on me indeed
And I can’t believe your body is lying next to mine
Just the thought of making love to you sends chills down my spine
Crazy lost in love with you, never let you slip away
Wanna be with you girl, every night and every day, every night and everyday, every night and everyday
Da da da, da da da (4 x’s)
Don't you know, look into my eyes
Don't you know, I can make it right
Can’t you see, oh it’s right here
Can’t you see, that I'm crazy lost, crazy lost, crazy losts
