Reckless
Healy Lyrics

Beach boys on the ride home
I'm reminiscing about the good times spent with my friends

I can get there with my eyes closed
I know the way home like the back of my hand

Exactly thirty-four minutes after I pull out your driveway
You always call me 34 minutes after I leave your place

You dial my phone
You call me to check up on me

Paper cover rock
I'm making choices without considering their hurtful consequences

Scripture cover Peter
I'm using religion to justify my actions

Yeah, I'm cuttin' off my locks
I'm changing my physical appearance to match my new personality

And I'm changin' my demeanor
I'm adopting a new attitude to reflect my changed self

Pool days, high tops
I'm enjoying summer to the fullest

With my blue face, ice pops
I'm cooling off in the pool with my favorite ice pops

I'ma make a shoelace necklace
I'm using my creativity to make something unique and personal

Yeah, we whippin' pop's old Lexus
We're driving around in a car that isn't even ours

And I'm skippin' school days, mic drops
I'm prioritizing my fun over my education

Eyes on summer like cyclops
I'm daydreaming about the freedom and adventures of summer

Yeah, we fallin' off the sidewalk
We're being reckless and not paying attention to our surroundings

Mama wants you home before nightfall
My mom is worried about me and wants me to be safe

Summer come and I ain't got a new car
I'm not letting my lack of material possessions ruin my summer

Yeah I'm still gettin' scooped up
I'm still able to have fun without owning a car

Call me by my first letter, "Ayy, E what's up?"
People recognize and greet me by my nickname

Every now and then city need a refresher
The city needs a fresh, new perspective to shake things up

Breakin' up to Sufjan
I'm listening to sad music while going through a breakup

Wake up on your futon
I'm sleeping over at your place and wake up on your futon

Why you in my crewneck? Wait
You're wearing my crewneck sweater without my permission

(I really like that shirt)
Despite being upset, I low-key like seeing you wear my clothes

Jerry's line too long
I'm impatient and unwilling to wait in long lines

Teenage mutant
I'm embracing my youth and rebellious spirit

Comin' out of my shell, ayy
I'm breaking out of my comfort zone and being more outgoing

Yeah this be that corner piece, cornerstone
This is a pivotal moment in my life

Ten piece, corner sto'
I'm indulging in unhealthy behavior with a group of friends

Skinned knees, cortisone
I'm getting hurt but using medicine to alleviate the pain

And ex links, chromosome
My past relationships and DNA are a part of who I am today

Summer feet, cobblestone
I'm enjoying the simple pleasures of summer

Momma leave, home alone
I'm left home alone while my mom is out and about

On my feet, Chuckie T's
I'm wearing Chuck Taylor shoes

On my sleeve, Corazón
I wear my heart on my sleeve

'99 Titans
I'm nostalgic for a previous time in my life

Close to my goals, yeah
I'm focused on my future and reaching my goals

Look like Kevin Dyson
I resemble the football player Kevin Dyson

When my curfew gettin' closer
I'm anxious about getting home before my curfew

Hand me downs
I'm wearing thrifted clothes passed down from others

Pick me ups
I seek out things to lift my mood when I'm feeling down

Dark side
I'm struggling with my demons and negative thoughts

Shouts Ryan
I'm acknowledging my friend Ryan

In my hood
I'm representing my neighborhood

Call it buck
We call it wild and crazy

Na-na-na
I'm singing a catchy tune

You can't stand me
You don't like my behavior

You legless
You're so taken aback by my behavior that you're speechless

Might grow my hair long
I'm considering changing my appearance again

Like Legolas
I'm referencing the Lord of the Rings character Legolas, who has long hair

Yeah, I'm feelin' ruthless, reckless
I'm unapologetically embracing my wild, rebellious side
