Beautiful Crime

Verse 1

Midnight, staring at the ceiling again

Every thought of you is a beautiful sin

I check my phone like it's going to save my soul

But the distance between us is taking its toll

The clock is ticking, but my mind is stuck on your face

Running miles in my head, winning a fictional chase

Overthinking every word that you ever said

Building a kingdom of you inside of my head

Chorus

And I'm burning up, yeah, I'm losing my cool

Caught in the friction of acting a fool

I want you so bad, it's a physical burn

Waiting and waiting for my world to turn

It's an obsession, a fever, a beautiful crime

I'm getting hot like California in the summertime

Yeah, hot like California in the summertime

Verse 2

They say the West Coast knows how to take the heat

But they haven't seen the way my heart skips a beat

When I picture your hands tracing down my spine

Trapped in a loop of wishing you were mine

Too many scenarios playing on repeat

From the taste of your lips to the heat of the sheet

I'm overcomplicating things that should be so bare

Breathing you in, though you're not even there

Chorus

And I'm burning up, yeah, I'm losing my cool

Caught in the friction of acting a fool

I want you so bad, it's a physical burn

Waiting and waiting for my world to turn

It's an obsession, a fever, a beautiful crime

I'm getting hot like California in the summertime

Yeah, hot like California in the summertime

Bridge - Explicit

Stop the talking, baby, step into my space

Let the overthinking melt without a trace

While you hug me, I stay warm

But down there I'm wet

Come swim in these waters

Lose the regret

Yeah, dive in deep, don't you hesitate

Let the current take over, don't make me wait

(Guitar Solo / Heavy Beats)

Chorus

'Cause I'm burning up, yeah, I'm losing my cool

Caught in the friction of acting a fool

I want you so bad, it's a physical burn

Waiting and waiting for my world to turn

It's an obsession, a fever, a beautiful crime

I'm getting hot like California in the summertime

Yeah, hot like California in the summertime

Outro

California in the summertime...

So hot, so wild.

Come swim in these waters...

Yeah.

Just dive in.
