Sinners Lyrics – James Arthur

[Verse 1]
Driving down the 405
We don’t even know where we’re going
Tryna keep it ‘tween the lines when the cop car’s passing
Yeah, you put your feet up on my dashboard
You can feel my wandering eyes
Why’d you have to look like that? It’s a fatal attraction, mm (Fatal attraction, babe)

[Pre-Chorus]
You know what you’re doing, you’re doing it to me
In over my head, but got no regrets

[Chorus]
Baby, when the sun goes down
I just wanna fall with you all over this town
You got that wildfire heart
You’re giving me shivers, shivers
I wanna feel your midnight flame
Crashing through the streets until we make our escape
And when the lights go out
We could be sinners, sinners

[Verse 2]
You keep playing my old records
Stealing all my favourite t-shirts
But they look better on you, girl
They’re better on my floor, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
You know what you’re doing (You know what you’re doing)
You’re doing it to me (You’re doing it to me)
In over my head, but got no regrets

[Chorus]
Baby, when the sun goes down
I just wanna fall with you all over this town
You got that wildfire heart

You’re giving me shivers, shivers
I wanna feel your midnight flame
Crashing through the streets until we make our escape
And when the lights go out
We could be sinners (Sinners), sinners

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah
Be sinners, baby
We could get away, we get away when we’re sinners, baby

[Chorus]
Baby, when the sun goes down
I just wanna fall with you all over this town
You got that wildfire heart
You’re giving me shivers, shivers
I wanna feel your midnight flame
Crashing through the streets until we make our escape
And when the lights go out
We could be sinners, sinners, woah

[Verse 1]
Driving down the 405, they’re cruising without a set destination, symbolizing a carefree and spontaneous journey. Trying to stay within the lines when police cars pass suggests they’re cautious yet rebellious. The partner’s relaxed posture and the singer’s wandering eyes hint at attraction and temptation. The phrase “fatal attraction” emphasizes a magnetic pull that’s irresistible and possibly risky.

[Pre-Chorus]
The singer acknowledges the partner’s deliberate influence, aware of the emotional impact they have. Despite being deeply involved and perhaps in a risky situation, there’s no regret about their intense connection.

[Chorus]
As night falls, the singer desires to explore the town with their partner. They praise the partner’s passionate and exciting personality (“wildfire heart”), which gives them thrilling sensations (“shivers”). The reference to “midnight flame” suggests intense passion. They envision breaking free and experiencing freedom together, embracing the thrill of being unconventional (“sinners”) when the world sleeps.

[Verse 2]
The partner enjoys personal items of the singer, like old records and favorite t-shirts, suggesting a closeness and intimacy where belongings are shared and cherished. The phrase “better on my floor” implies a playful and intimate relationship where these shared items hold sentimental value.

[Pre-Chorus]
Reiterating that the partner knows their effect on the singer and continues to influence them emotionally or romantically, despite the risks involved.

[Chorus]
Again, the singer expresses their desire to explore and experience the night with their passionate partner. They celebrate the partner’s intense and captivating nature, desiring to feel their passion (“midnight flame”) and escape into the night together (“make our escape”). They anticipate embracing their rebellious side (“sinners”) when the opportunity arises.

[Post-Chorus]
Encouraging their partner to embrace their rebellious side together, suggesting they can escape reality and enjoy the thrill of being unconventional.

[Chorus]
Repeats the desire to explore the town at night with their passionate partner, emphasizing the partner’s thrilling and intense personality. They want to experience the excitement of breaking norms together (“sinners”) under the cover of night, reveling in their freedom and connection.
