I Witnessed A Crime Lyrics - Elsie - The Horrible Crowes

I guess the moon it had it out for us 

And the night and the stars the same 

Everything she touched turned to stone or died eventually 

Or was never seen the same again 

Yeah, and this heart I had 

You never sympathize 

And while you held my hand 

I think I witnessed a crime 

While she drove we sat in silence 

All I could do was try to breathe 

Her and I we never talked too much or licked our wounds 

Just lived between the hours of sleep 

And in this dream I had 

My screams were baby's breath 

I watched her steal the air 

Right from the atmosphere 

Oh this heart I had 

You never paid no mind 

And on the long drive home 

I think I witnessed a crime 

And she said I just went crazy from the heat 

And I just lit a little fire under your feet 

And that's not so bad see people do it all the time 

It's just a little bit of blood in your eyes 

So boy, stop all your crying 

And all my debonair 

Died in her arms one night 

You go so quietly 

Once you've seen the end 

Oh this heart I had 

You never paid no mind 

And on the drive home 

I think I witnessed a crime
