Cold lights on the boulevard tonight
Everybody wearing perfect smiles
They sell their dreams in silver frames
But none of them feel alive

I learned to move like I belong
Like another face in the crowd
But every time you look at me
The silence gets too loud

Don't let them see the way we breathe
Don't let them hear our hearts collide
The world outside is made of glass
And we're the cracks they try to hide

Take me over to the other side
Where the rules don't reach tonight
Hold me close until I melt inside
Like silver in the neon light

Pull me closer, help me feel alive
Like a secret burning in the night
If loving you is a perfect crime
Then let the whole world watch us ignite

Golden cages dressed like paradise
Every soul behind a painted face
They write our names in quiet ink
Then try to put us in our place

But when your shadow touches mine
All the city lights begin to shake
Like a storm inside my veins
Like a rule about to break

They build their walls with quiet fear
They turn our hearts into a show
But every spark you leave on me
Is something they will never own

Take me over to the other side
Where the rules don't reach tonight
Hold me close until I melt inside
Like silver in the neon light

Pull me closer, help me feel alive
Like a secret burning in the night
If loving you is a perfect crime
Then let the whole world watch us ignite

Let the city talk in broken tones
Let them watch us fall apart
They can cage a thousand bodies
But they'll never cage a heart

So pull me through the midnight sky
Past the lines they drew in stone
If the world turns cold around us
Then we'll build a fire of our own

Take me over to the other side
Where the dark begins to shine
Hold me close until I melt inside
Like stars dissolving into time

Pull me closer, help me feel alive
Like a secret burning in the night
If loving you is a perfect crime
Then I'll choose you every time
