Partners in Crime
FINNEAS Lyrics

I said you look pretty
I complimented your appearance

All strung out on coke
You were under the influence of cocaine and visibly affected by it

You said it's not funny
You didn't find my comment amusing

But it wasn't a joke
I meant what I said sincerely

And you won't remember
You were too intoxicated to recall the events

But I carried you home
I assisted you to your place of residence

You sat in the shower
You needed to clean up and sober up

While I washed off your clothes
I helped you clean your soiled clothes

But isn't that what friends are for
Assisting and supporting each other through difficult times

Even if we used to be more?
Despite our romantic past, our friendship is still valuable

Like lovers or partners in crime
Our previous romantic relationship involved undertones of breaking the rules

When you were still mine
When we were together as a couple

You said we should get out
You suggested we leave and start over

While we still could
Before it's too late and we're in too deep

And I should have listened
I regret not following your advice

But I misunderstood
I misinterpreted your intentions

Thought you wanted me tied down
I assumed you wanted a committed, monogamous relationship

It started to chafe
The idea of being confined and tied down became uncomfortable

But it's easy to see now
In hindsight, I understand what you meant

You just wanted me safe
You wanted me to be secure and protected from danger and harm

And when the cops broke down our door
The law enforcement authorities barged into our place of dwelling without warning or consent

And held us both against our floor
We were forced onto the ground and restrained by the police officers

Did we look like lovers or partners in crime?
We appeared to be either romantically involved or conspiring to commit an unlawful act

Did you look like mine?
Did you look like someone who belonged to me and was under my protection?

Or did we look like fools
Did we look like inexperienced and foolish individuals who got themselves into a messy situation?

Tryna get away with it all?
Attempting to avoid the consequences for our actions

Thinkin' we'd be saved by a call
Hoping that someone would bail us out or intervene on our behalf

From each other
Expecting the other person to come to our aid and rescue

We were on the same boat
We were both in the same predicament and had to face it together

Didn't see you for ages
We lost touch and didn't communicate for a long time

Didn't pick up your phone
You didn't answer my calls or messages

Made it out of our cages
We managed to break free from our previous entanglements and situations

Never made it back home
We didn't find our way back to each other or our former lives

I was late to the party
I arrived at the gathering after it had already started

Of an old family friend
The event was hosted by someone I knew from my family's circle

I was lookin' for parking
I was struggling to find a spot to park my vehicle

Thought I saw you again
I believed I caught a glimpse of you

Someone I've seen before
A person familiar to me

You couldn't look any more
You resembled someone I once knew

Like a lover or a partner in crime
You had the same aura or appearance of someone I once shared a romantic and adventurous connection with

Or something of mine
Someone who was once exclusively mine or under my ownership
