Cash and Love and Criminal

cash and love and criminal

[Verse 1] You count the bills beneath the kitchen light I read the warning folded in your coat A motel key, a train at quarter five And one more lie you swear you never wrote You say the money buys us one clean start I say a clean start doesn't come in red Your hand is warm, your story falls apart But I still hear every word you said [Pre-Chorus] If you run, I know the road If you hide, I know the code Tell me what you're trying to save Before you drag us to the grave [Chorus] Cash and love and criminal Three things in the room tonight You put a price on the impossible I put my name beside your alibi Cash and love and criminal You swear the fall is worth the flight If I walk out, I lose you all at once If I stay, I lose my life [Verse 2] The landlord heard a door slam down the hall A neighbor saw your headlights cross the lot You left a photograph beside the sink The only proof of everything we're not I know the names you never say aloud I know the place you keep the second phone You kiss my forehead like a solemn vow Then ask me if you have to go alone [Pre-Chorus] If you run, I know the road If you hide, I know the code Tell me what you're trying to save Before you drag us to the grave [Chorus] Cash and love and criminal Three things in the room tonight You put a price on the impossible I put my name beside your alibi Cash and love and criminal You swear the fall is worth the flight If I walk out, I lose you all at once If I stay, I lose my life [Bridge] Leave the money on the table Leave the keys beside the door I can love you past the danger I can't love what you became it for When the sirens find the building When the morning takes the dark Will you reach for me with empty hands Or reach for one last spark? [Final Chorus] Cash and love and criminal No more deals beneath the light You put a price on the impossible I put the truth beside your alibi Cash and love and criminal Now the choice is yours tonight If you walk out, you lose me all at once If you stay, we face the light [Outro] Cash and love Love and crime Leave the money Save your life
