[Verse 1]
You walked in
Whole room got quiet
White suit
Red stain on the pocket
Gold ring
Heavy on your trigger hand
You sat down
Said "Baby
What’s the plan?"
Card game
Smoke curling in the ceiling
You read tells while I’m reading what I’m feeling
We run towns
But we never run from fights
Funny how I’m scared of you tasting my life
[Chorus]
Mob boss hearts in a backroom tangle
Two sharp minds in a slow-love strangle
Cold world cash in our painted nails
But I’m soft for you when the power fails
We got scars
We got guns
We got alibis
Still the wildest crime is the way you look in my eyes
[Verse 2]
You pour bourbon over chipped ice
Laughing
Saying
"All these men keep underestimating"
You slide half your empire across the table
"Take it
" you murmur
"if you’re really able"
Sirens hum somewhere past the harbor
You trace my throat
Ask who I’d die for
I say your name like a whispered secret
You say mine like a promise you intend to keep it
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Hide the money in the floorboards
Hide the bodies in the ground
But leave our kisses on the doorway
So we always find our way back around
[falsetto harmonies] Let the bullets fly where they wanna
Let the rumors run their mouths
I’ll hold your face in the crossfire
Choose you when it all goes south
[Chorus]
