Criminal Sip Lyrics by Mackenzie Shrieve

In the While

2021

[Verse]
You really pulled me in
With all of your tricks
I was young and I fell for it
They warned me about you on movie screens
When you had me I was sixteen
My fiction was kissed by reality
You had me lingering
My first criminal sip
There was snow on the ground where you went to college
I’d warm myself up with my hands in your pockets
On the back porch
You made me feel so good
You blew smoke out
And convinced me that we could do anything
[Chorus]
I’ll never love you again
I found a way not to want you
We couldn’t even be friends
But I don’t need you to hold on to
[Verse]
You really pulled me in
And I loved all of your tricks
I was young but didn’t feel like it
You know people still tell me about you
Every single damn time
Like I can’t exist in this quaint little town
Without you on their mind
I stayed there lingering
You criminal sip
But I have to admit in the moment
I loved every second of it
In the suburbs
We were whispered about
When we drove through the night with the top down
I chose not to listen
[Chorus]
I’ll never love you again
I found a way not to want you
We couldn’t even be friends
But I don’t need you to hold on to
[Bridge]
I’ll never love you again but without you I don’t think I would have learned how
I’ll take my book and rewrite rules on what I allow
There’s a part of me that looks for you every time I go driving through our hometown
Just to glimpse what mattered then so much but doesn’t now
I’ll never love you again but without you I don’t think I would have learned how
I’ll take my book and rewrite rules on what I allow
There’s a part of me that looks for you every time I go driving through our hometown
Just to glimpse what mattered then so much but doesn’t now
[Chorus]
I’ll never love you again
I found a way not to want you
We couldn’t even be friends
But I don’t need you to hold on to
