Alibi

Courtroom Romance FTW

This is my alibi,
Although I cannot deny
How I feel tonight.
I’m not gonna lie
That that gentle sigh
You often make
Is driving me crazy
Till the rest of my world is turning so hazy.

Put me before the judge.
I will take the oath.
As they question me,
I will try not to show
The truth locked inside-
The feelings which I meant to hide.
As the gavel pounds
The secrets are whispered all around.

I’m telling my alibi,
Although I cannot deny
How I feel tonight.
I’m not gonna lie
That that gentle sigh
You often make
Is driving me crazy
Till the rest of my world is turning oh so hazy.

I’m on the witness stand,
But there is no one
Who can understand
That I am guilty.
Pull those bars shut now.
Need that one phone call they allow.
I’ll tell you where to meet
Tell you where you can meet me soon.

Powdered wigs and quiet bailiffs,
Courtroom drama in murderous hands.
I’ll plead for guilty innocence.
I’ll think of how to ask for penance?

I’d squeeze through these bars.
I’d runaway so far.
I’d meet you there.
Tell you all I’ve done and where.
I’d squeeze through these bars.
I’d runaway so far-so far away.
I’d meet you there.
Tell you all I’ve done and where.
I’d tell you all the crimes.
I’d never tell you any of the lies
I told them.
I’d never give you the alibi
I gave them.

This is my alibi,
Although I cannot deny
How I feel tonight.
I’m not gonna lie
That that gentle sigh
You often make
Is driving me crazy
Till the rest of my world is turning oh so hazy.

I never told you my alibi,
I never told you my usual lies.
I gave you the facts,
Short but not so sweet.
And now that I’ve told you where,
I hope you know where our lips can meet.
