It's Criminal

You let it slip right through your fingers

You let the moment disappear without a trace

Now the photograph is faded

and the smile you wore seems sadly out of place

Some nights

when you feel that you're the only one who bleeds

Reach out

when you doubt the love you really need

It's criminal

to possess the key to life yet be so cynical

To deny the possibility, it's criminal

to let the chances of a lifetime

pass you by

Every picture tells a story

I hear the sound of desperation in your voice

It's a broken road to glory

and we lose if we refuse to make a choice

Someday

when you least expect it love will come to you

Reach out

when you let the pressure get to you

It's criminal

to possess the key to life yet be so cynical

To deny the possibility, it's criminal

to let the chances of a lifetime

pass you by

Tell your heart to stop the stalling

S.O.S. your life is calling

Spread your wings for all the world to see

Illuminate your darkened corners

Celebrate each brand new morning

Be the light we all were born to be

Some nights

when you least expect it love will come to you

Reach out

don't let the music catch you cryin'

To let it catch you cryin'

It's criminal

to possess the key to life yet be so cynical

To deny the possibility, it's criminal

to let the chances of a lifetime

pass you by

Don't let it pass you by

(don't let it pass you by)

It's criminal

(don't let it slip through your fingers)

Don't let the music catch you cryin'

(don't let it catch you cryin')
