about

Criminal was written out of the temptation of momentarily revisiting that head over heels first love. I found myself geographically close to that person again and I was filled with nostalgia and longing for what was a toxic first proper relationship and an explosive break-up which shaped me for years after. Without sounding too cheesy, It’s a song about truly understanding how a big love can continue to exist between two people even after copious amounts of drama and almost a decade apart

lyrics

I shouldn’t call you every time I fall north
I should leave us both alone
I’m not moving any tombstones, yet
It’ll lead us straight back
To where we hurt
Oh we hurt

Seven years, it seems like yesterday
And the familiarity of your grin
Seven years, it seems that nothing has changed
In my heart
In this love

Our Love is criminal in this life
I cannot let you be real
Our Love, it’s criminal
I cannot say how I truly feel

Steal a kiss
Knowing it won’t be our last
And everyone else remains on pause
It’s excusable
It’s excusable because it’s always been you
Deja vu

Our Love is criminal in this life
I cannot let you be real
Our Love, it’s criminal
I cannot say how I truly feel

Can’t we hit fast forward
Where we give in and let it be
Can’t we hit fast forward
I wonder how old we’ll be
I wonder how old we’ll be
I wonder how old we’ll be
I wonder how old we’ll be

Our Love is criminal in this life
I cannot let you be real
Our Love, it’s criminal
I cannot say how I truly feel
