Criminals
Written by Molly Bobroff & Matthew Day & Tom Philpott  ·  Out 13 March 2026
Verse 1

I wanna fly

Take me so high

A lullaby

Is not enough to make me sleep

Wired to the radio

Connected and received

I don't want to die a criminal

Or be known as a thief

But I'll go on and on and on

Verse 2

So don't think twice

Take my advice

Stick to one vice

'Cause all the rest just make you weak

If the mission is still possible

But the task is not complete

Will you play the victim

Will you stand up to defeat

Will you go on and on and on

Chorus

They'll never catch us in the dark

They'll never find out where we are

We'll keep on running on for miles

Don't get too close

Don't play with fire

When it burns

It burns on brighter

So keep following the flame

No one can make us live day to day

Verse 3

You might find it easy

But I sit here freezing

Not knowing what is wrong or right

Running a frenzy in my mind

Light as a feather

But blind to the signs

But I'll go on and on and on

Chorus

They'll never catch us in the dark

They'll never find out where we are

We'll keep on running on for miles

Don't get too close

Don't play with fire

When it burns

It burns on brighter

So keep following the flame

No one can make us live day to day

Day to day

Day to day

We'll go on and on and on

Yeah, we'll go on and on and on

Bridge

Give me some time

To find an alibi

I crossed a line

So I've been told

Not to speak

So they'll chase me to the border

I'll catch a boat to Spain

Grow out a beard

I'll shave my hair

And change my name

I'll never be a convict

'Cause you'll never find a trace

And if you do

I'll just keep running away

Outro

They'll never catch us in the dark

They'll never find out where we are

We'll keep on running on for miles

Don't get too close

Don't play with fire

When it burns

It burns on brighter

So keep following the flame

No one can make us live day to day

Day to day

Day to day

'Cause we'll go on and on and on

Yeah, we'll go on and on and on

We'll go on and on and on
