Criminal Sip

You really pulled me in With all of your tricks I was young and I fell for it They warned me about you on movie screens When you had me I was sixteen My fiction was kissed by reality You had me lingering My first criminal sip There was snow on the ground where you went to college I’d warm myself up with my hands in your pockets On the back porch You made me feel so good You blew smoke out And convinced me that we could do anything I’ll never love you again I found a way not to want you We couldn’t even be friends But I don’t need you to hold on to You really pulled me in And I loved all of your tricks I was young but didn’t feel like it You know people still tell me about you Every single damn time Like I can’t exist in this quaint little town Without you on their mind I stayed there lingering You criminal sip But I have to admit in the moment I loved every second of it In the suburbs We were whispered about When we drove through the night with the top down I chose not to listen I’ll never love you again I found a way not to want you We couldn’t even be friends But I don’t need you to hold on to I’ll never love you again but without you I don’t think I would have learned how I’ll take my book and rewrite rules on what I allow There’s a part of me that looks for you every time I go driving through our hometown Just to glimpse what mattered then so much but doesn’t now I’ll never love you again but without you I don’t think I would have learned how I’ll take my book and rewrite rules on what I allow There’s a part of me that looks for you every time I go driving through our hometown Just to glimpse what mattered then so much but doesn’t now I’ll never love you again I found a way not to want you We couldn’t even be friends But I don’t need you to hold on to
