Crime

You’ve got me all f***** up and dreaming
about the way things used to be
and i’ll take you off speaker phone when you tell me you love me
so she doesn’t hear all the secrets that your every whisper says

You’ve got me all teared up and torn up
like the carpet we once lay on
remembering all the things
that we always could have been

and i think it’s fair to say love,
that the drugs got in the way
that we puffed and shot and snorted
all the promises we made
but still i dream of my makeup
on your collar as we sleep
and bruises on my collarbone
as the sun begins to creep
so take me in your arms love, and say it one more time
for though i’ve broken the law more than i can ever pray for
our love was still my favorite crime

you’ve got me wrapped around your finger
which is where i like to be
with foggy thoughts
and a cigarette and a cup of coffee

you’ve got me running round my head in circles
like some sad indie rock song
that comes on the radio
at just the right moment

and i’ll crawl into bed with you
even though you yelled at me all night
i still forgive you all the things you said
even though when i’m alone they bite

and i think it’s fair to say love
that we’ll both always stay love
and that each night is endless
when you’re pulled apart by things that are out of your control
but i’ll still always love you
and they can’t take that away
so take me in your arms and say it one more time
for though i’ve broken the law more than i can pray for
our love was still my favorite crime

Break ups pretty much suck.
