I went from having everything to none at all,
I was on top of the world, then i started to fall.
I was looking down and you were looking up,
Baby you always fill my half-empty cup.
We can be modern day Bonnie And Clyde,
So girl I’m asking you to come with me for a ride,
Please hop in, I want you by my side,
For tonight, we Can let instincts be our guide.
You hesitantly hop in and ask me where to,
I say don’t know baby, as long as its with you.
We were robbing banks and just doing our thing,
I couldn’t hear the alarms, because you make my heart sing.
But then the cops had to show and ruin our good fun,
We dropped the cash and we started to run.
As we get away I saw tears in your eyes,
I look at you and I know i got the best prize.
As we leave town I ask you where to?
Please say “I don’t know baby, as long as its with you.
We didn’t succeed and I am to blame,
Hoping you still loved me, even after our game.
I walked from the motel to the corner store,
where they sell news from the day before.
We made the headline news,
It said that we lost but baby I refuse,
to lose hope, to give up, to turn myself in,
because if i do that then we’ll never win.
We tried for the perfect crime,
only to be caught during an imperfect time.
Our balaclava’s lay face-down on the floor.
You told me you don’t wanna wear it anymore.
That’s fine by me because now I see who you are.
You see me too, my face is marred,
in the dim light you can see my numerous scars,
from playing with fire, and I got charred.
I glance at you and i know you don’t care
This world just seems much too unfair.
Remember the times that we shared
Remember your burdens i tried to bear.
We made mistakes we had regrets,
but we were in love that I won’t forget.
I hate that a chance was denied,
Even after I had tried,
So hard and for so long, to be proven wrong,
I was led on all along.
But I see you walk away on the roadside,
I yell and ask if you need a ride.
you say “where are you going to”
I say “I don’t know baby, hopefully with you.”
The glowing box in the living room calls me criminal
How? Like with you, the clues I left were subliminal.
Reporters, crime paparazzi, capture me with flashes of light.
Alone I stand on trial, This is not just, this is not right.
Hands behind back, I face the judge, the jury, the executioner.
They say my time away will cleanse my moral pollution.
Proceed with caution, apparently I’m dangerous.
But now I’m well known, apparently I’m famous.
A smug look on my face, what more can they do?
Invincible I felt, until they took me away from you.
They sentenced me to never see you again.
Confused, we were less than lovers and more than friends
So with acceptance, I took this rejection
And like running for election, I campaigned for affection.
But there was one exception, despite my intentions,
there were connections to allegations, ones I didn’t mention
And I feel like a fool for being so trusting,
Glory days faded, like a muscle car rusting.
Head hung, knuckles white, pale face,
I will go so silently, there will be no trace,
of my emotion, of my devotion, please get the notion,
that grudging feet will provide little motion
As im lead away, any last words?
Yes. “I love you Bonnie” I hope you heard.
