Lyrics Partner In Crime - Alana Wilkinson

Hands in the dress-up box
Feathers everywhere
Lipstick kisses on mirrors
Glitter in our hair
Dancing to the songs we had to know
Taping them off of the radio
And you'd push pause and I'd scribble down a verse
So we could learn the words and sing them at school
Yup, we were pretty cool

Seems so long ago
That you and I, we shared our lives
For so many years
Oh, we would laugh and we would fight
But you and I, we were a team
And there was no amount of grounding
That could get in the way
Of you being by my side
As my partner in crime

Sleeping in the yard
To sneak out in the middle of the night
I would skate and you would ride your bike
Bandits born to ride
Racing like we'd made some great escape out
To meet the other kids at the roundabout
And feeling like the kings of our hometown
We'd both have been dead if our parents found out
Well, I guess that they'll know now

Seems so long ago
That you and I, we shared our lives
For so many years
Oh, we would laugh and we would fight
But you and I, we were a team
And there was no amount of grounding
That could get in the way
Of you being by my side
As my partner in crime
Partner in crime

We grew up and you just ran away
We didn't see each other every day
And the photos of your happy head
Turned to photos of you in a hospital bed
And before I knew it, you'd slipped away
We never got to chat about the good old days
But I hope you knew
I looked up to you
And not just because I was smaller and I had to

One day I'll tell your little boy
Of how we shared our lives
Of all the mischief that was made
With you by my side
Of how when our parents split
You sat with me and cried
Oh, seems so long ago
That you and I, we shared our lives
For so many years
Oh, we would laugh and we would fight
But you and I, we were a team
And there was no amount of grounding
That could get in the way
Of you being by my side
And maybe we'll reunite
In the next life
And you'll be by my side again
My partner in crime, ooh
