exact style as the strokes "the adults are talking"

Lyrics
Verse:
I still listen to claro and think of you
You say that you'll miss me, we know it ain't true
We could finally be famous, its true
who knew it'd be for our crimes, true blue
We weren't broke, just a head of our time.
tried to buy us future with some borrowed crimes.
Hands start shaking when the sirens align.
You ask yourself if you could do all that time
pre chorus:
so I'll put my hands up,
when the cops show up
put all the blame on me
just a one day crime spree
chorus:
will you turn and run when the sireons sound,
keep your cool when they release the hounds
Will you say my name, when they take me down.
or let it echo through, this empty town
will you wait it out, or forget me fast
Just a thing called love, or a thing of the past
If we're aught in the lights right now
tell me-are you mine or just around
Verse 2:
Lipstick still on the cigarette pack.
Don't be a hero, we would laugh at that
Money's cold when its not earned clean,
same as love when its in-between
WE talk in code, in glances and debt
say "we're fine" like a quiet threat
every dream got a curfew now
every promise asking when not how
prechorus:
if this all falls apart,
did you still love me from the start
can put it all on me.
I'd still go down in history
chorus:
will you turn and run, when the sirens sound
keep your cool, when they release the hounds
Will you say my name, when they take me down.
or let it echo through, this empty town
will you wait it out, or forget me fast
Just a thing called love, or a thing of the past
If we're aught in the lights right now
tell me-are you mine or just around
Outro:
We stole a night, we stole a spark
Left our finger prints on the dark
if I disappear before the sun
we'll still meet down on the beach, start our life on the run
If loving you's the crime somehow
I'll still do the time-just tell me how
If loving you's the crime somehow
I'll still do the time-just tell me how
