She lives just over the bridge
And oh how I would give
Almost anything to be her everything

I can't begin to tell you
All the? these eyes have seen
But none quite like her
And she's only seventeen

For you I sing this simple melody
Lada-da-da
It was a murder in the first degree
Her motives were unknown
I'd rather die than be alone
With this much, I know it's true
The crimson trail leads back to you

But now that I'm dead
Visions of you
Run through my head
Like home-made movies we made
When we were younger
And now that I'm dead
I wont waste your time
I'll hunt your dreams instead
And you can't run away

For you I sing this simple melody
Lada-da-da
It was a murder in the first degree
Her motives were unknown
I'd rather die than be alone
With this much, I know it's true
The crimson trail leads back to you

And when you fall in love
I hope you fall hard,
I hope you fall fast

And when you fall in love
If it gets taken away
I hope you'll say

For you I sang this simple melody
Lada-da-da
It was a murder in the first degree
Her motives were unknown
I'd rather die than be alone
With this much, I know it's true
The crimson trail leads back

For you I sing this simple melody
La da da da
It was a murder in the first degree
Her motives were unknown
I'd rather die than be alone
With this much, I know it's true
The crimson trail leads back to you
