Lyrics
Soft skin and restless bones
Describing someone with soft skin and restless bones.
Your body in the backseat as my home
Portraying the person's body as a comforting place, like a home, in the backseat.
Don’t think too much
Advising not to overthink about past actions.
About the things we’ve done
Encouraging not to dwell too much on the things they've done.
If killing time’s a crime
Repeating the idea that if wasting time is a crime, the speaker is willing to face consequences together with their love.
I’m going down with you my love
-If killing time’s a crime
-I’m going down with you my love
-If killing time’s a crime
-I’m going down with you my love
-If killing time’s a crime
-I’m going down with you my love
-If killing time’s a crime
-I’m going down with you my love
-I met you by surprise the haze of blue
Recalling a meeting with someone unexpectedly, describing a hazy encounter with flashing lights and compromising situations.
And flashing lights fingerprints all over me
-Obedient scenes i compromised
-And your faults?
Suggesting blame for faults based on the person's zodiac sign, comparing them to a "zodiac killer" with a history of crimes.
Well I can blame them on your star sign
-You’re a zodiac killer
-With a trophy for each crime
-I’m the latest in a long line
-No hostage situation he showed me love
Describing a situation where the speaker receives love without being held hostage, engaging in secret activities when alone, and seeking forgiveness.

-Heaven cry
-If killing time’s a crime
Reiterating the theme that if wasting time is a crime, the speaker is willing to face consequences for their actions with their love.
I’m going down with you my love

-Everything you want he had it
-I’m his movie star his actress
-A far from home naive and young romantic
-We danced for days i still relive

-Going down we’re skin to skin
Expressing intimacy ("skin to skin"), the passage of time, and reflecting on the consequences of their actions, with a regretful tone about "killing time."
Turn me on then turn me in
-We woke one day to find
-That time was never on our side
-Our friends have been forgiven
-While we’re on the inside
-Of all the things we did
-I think the worst was killing time
