Guilty as Sin? lyrics

Drowning in The Blue Nile1
He sent me Downtown Lights2
I hadn't heard it in a while
My boredom's bone deep
This cage was once just fine
Am I allowed to cry?
 
I dream of cracking locks
Throwing my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks
Crashing into him tonight, he's a paradox
I'm seeing visions
Am I bad? Or mad? Or wise?
 
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss
How I long for our trysts
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
 
I keep these longings locked
In lowercase inside a vault
Someone told me there's no such thing as bad thoughts, only your actions talk
These fatal fantasies giving way to labored breath taking all of me
We've already done it in my head
If it's make-believe
Why does it feel like a vow
We'll both uphold somehow?
 
What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
My bed sheets are ablaze
I've screamed his name
Building up like waves crashing over my grave
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
 
What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose you and me, religiously
 
What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and I'm falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss
How I long for our trysts
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
 
He sent me Downtown Lights
I hadn't heard it in a while
Am I allowed to cry?
