Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This may come
This may come as some surprise
But I miss you
I could see through
All of your lies
But still, I miss you
[Verse 2]
He takes her love
But it doesn't feel like mine
He tastes her kiss
Her kisses are not mine
They are not mine
He takes, but surely she can't give
What I'm feelin' now
She takes
But surely, she doesn't know how
[Chorus]
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
That I still want you
And I want you to want me, too
[Verse 3]
My love is wider
Wider than Victoria Lake
My love is taller
Taller than the Empire State
[Verse 4]
It dives and it jumps
And it ripples like the deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that
Surely you want me back
[Chorus]
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
I still want you
And I want you to want me, too
[Verse 5]
My love is wider than Victoria Lake
Taller than the Empire State
It dives, it jumps
I can't give you more than that
Surely you want me back
[Chorus]
Is it a crime?
Is it a crime?
That I still want you
And I want you to want me, too
[Bridge]
It dives, it jumps
And it ripples like
Deepest ocean
I can't give you more than that
Surely you want it back
[Outro]
Tell me, is it a crime?
