"Killing Time" lyrics

"Killing Time"

Soft skin and restless bones
Your body in the backseat as my home
Don't think too much about the things we've done
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love

If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love

I met you by surprise
The haze of blue and flashing lights
Fingerprints all over me
Obedient scenes, I compromised

And your faults?
Well, I can blame them on your star sign
You're a zodiac killer with a trophy for each crime
I'm the latest in a long line

No hostage situation
He showed me love, I stay there
And they don't know the things we do
When we're alone, I'm praying
To my lover I'm faithful
God knows that I forgave him
Heaven cry

If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down with you, my love

Charismatic and attractive
Everything you want, he had it
I'm his movie star, his actress
A far from home naive and young romantic

We danced for days I still relive
Sirens were symphonies
Papers say we're wanted
We'll go down in love and infamy

And when they come for me
He's still the one for me
Still the one for me

No hostage situation
He showed me love, I stay there
And they don't know the things we do
When we're alone, I'm praying
To my lover I'm faithful
God knows that I forgave him
Heaven cry
If killing time's a crime, I'm going down (With you my love)
Going down

We're skin to skin
Turn me on then turn me in
We woke one day to find
That time was never on our side
Our friends have been forgiven
While we're on the inside
Of all the things we did
I think the worst was killing time
