And that's the sentiment behind his song "I Want Crazy," which is nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at this year's GRAMMY Awards. In his writing session with Lori McKenna and Troy Verges, Hayes came up with the title and just started spouting out the lyrics of the song: "I don't want 'good' and I don't want 'good enough'/ I want 'can't sleep, can't breathe without your love.'"

"There's these moments in the right relationship where your friends look at you as if they don't know you," Hayes told Radio.com. "They're just like, 'Who are you?' But it's a pleasant surprise. It's not like, 'Dude you haven't called me in six months, kind of surprise. It's more like, 'Where's all this energy and all these laughs coming from. Who is this person?'"

Hayes said what he wants in a relationship is "probably talking a little too much on the phone, bugging everyone around you because you can't live without this person." And that's precisely what he sings in the song: "I want can't sleep, can't breathe without your love/ Front porch and one more kiss/ It doesn't make sense to anybody else."
