Oh I'm already at a loss
You're an ocean I can't cross
And my heart will pay the cost
Oh
I know you're a battle luring me in
Say the water's safe to swim
Let the story now begin, oh
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
Bottom of my heart is caving in
I can see there's just no saving me
There's no way out
I'm going in
I want to be good but I want to be bad
I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving
Nobody but myself to blame
Like a moth starts to the flame
I can not keep my hands clean, Oh
Though every sign says "save yourself"
Read the warnings to my health
I don't want to help myself, Oh
Chorus
I want to be smart
Want to protect my heart
From pain along the way
But I can hold back
Gonna step on the cracks
I just can't play it safe, eeeeey
Can't play it safe
Bottom of my heart is caving in
I can see there's just no saving me
There's no way out
I'm going in
I want to be good but I want to be bad
I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving, waving, oh
Red, Oh
Cause I can see the red flags waving, waving
I can see the red flags waving, oh
