Partners in Crime

I said "You look pretty"

All strung out on coke

You said "It's not funny"

But it wasn't a joke

And you won't remember

But I carried you home

You sat in the shower

While I washed off your clothes

But isn't that what friends are for

Even if we used to be more?

Like lovers or partners in crime

When you were still mine

You said "We should get out"

While we still could

And I should have listened

But I misunderstood

Thought you wanted me tighter

Started to chafe

But it's easy to see now

You just wanted me safe

And when the cops broke down our door

And held us both against our floor

Did we look like lovers or partners in crime?

Did you look like mine?

Or did we look like fools

Tryna get away with it all?

Thinkin' we'd be saved by a call

From each other

We were on the same boat

Didn't see you for ages

Didn't pick up your phone

Made it out of our cages

Never made it back home

I was late to the party

Of an old family friend

I was lookin' for parkin'

Thought I saw you again

Someone I've seen before

You couldn't look any more like a lover

Or a partner in crime

Or something of mine

I said "You look pretty"

All strung out on coke

You said "It's not funny"

But it wasn't a joke
