Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Free my heart

Somebody locked it up

Still waiting on parole

I can taste the feeling just outside that door

The same gray walls

The same gray coast

I know my friends all know

Can't keep it under control

I know our love is strong

I am a criminal

I am a prisoner

I am a prisoner

For your love

[Verse 2]

There's this one bird

Lands on the sill besides the bar

How can something blown with wind

Ever know freedom to truly be free?

Clock don't know

What your memories do

They're stacking up beside the bed

I count them every night inside my head

If loving you is wrong

I am a criminal

I am a prisoner

I am a prisoner

[Verse 3]

If loving you is wrong

I am a criminal

I am a prisoner

I am a prisoner

For your love
