It was the time of day you strain to hear a single sound
And a body does not leave a trace of shadow on the ground
You had your right hand at your hip, there was murder in your eyes
And so I turned to go before another ray could rise
If I could only wait
If I could only wait
If I could only wait
If I could only wait and give it time
Would you remember all the moments you and I had
If lovin' you will always be a crime
I'll always be a criminal
The crushing weight of truth hung suspended in the air
My sinking heart convinced distance could make it disappear
It was all that I could do step after step away from you
And the aching in my side that I'd long since grown numb to
If I could only wait
If I could only wait
If I could only wait
If I could only wait and give it time
Would you remember all the moments you and I had
If lovin' you will always be a crime
I'll always be a criminal
Always be a criminal
