police station Lyrics

The guests have gone home

The bath has gone cold

The band, it plays a mellow tune

As the credits start to roll

My house is on fire

My hair smells of smoke

I'd live and die for a quiet night

Inhale until I choke

Oh, I'm sitting in the back of a cop car

Maybe you're an outlier

But our love's not safe from the law is it, darling?

Oh, honesty's not always kind

And now I wish you'd lied

I'll cut my pride

On the sharp edges of your tongue

I know I said forever, love

But forever's just so long

Look at me like I'm cursed

I'll trip over my words

A conversation's not supposed to leave me feeling worse

Now I'm sitting in the back of a cop car, baby

But you know I won't turn you in at the police station

Oh, honesty is not a crime

But now I wish I'd lied

Oh, I wish that I had lied instead of tryna call your bluff

And I wish that I had lied instead of almost opening up

Oh, honesty is not a crime

But now I wish I'd lied

Oh, I'm sitting in the back of a cop car, baby

But you know I won't turn you in at the police station

Oh, honesty's not always kind

And now I wish I'd lied

I wish I'd lied
