Reckless
Hudson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some days I wanna be reckless
Some days I wanna be your doll
Some days I wanna make you happy
Some days I don't even care at all
Half the time I don't know what I'm thinking
Half the time I don't know what to do
I know my mind is surely sinkin'
But, I'll leave it to when
I know in time we're gonna figure it out
We can't keep walking blind right into that lion's mouth
And I know each time you hate it when we shout
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my heart
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to your heart
Some days I wanna be reckless
Some days I wanna hold you close
Some nights you're six bottles in, three sheets to the wind screaming for the Holy Ghost
Half the time I don't know what I'm thinking
Half the time I don't know what to do
I know my mind is surely sinkin'
But, I'll leave it to when
I know in time we're gonna figure it out
We can't keep walking blind right into that lion's mouth
And I know each time you hate it when we shout
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my heart
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to your heart
And I know in time we're gonna figure this out
We can't keep walking blind right into that lion's mouth
And I know each time you hate it when we shout
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my heart
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to your heart
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my
You're holding on to my heart
I'm holding on to yours




I'm holding on to yours
I'm holding on to your heart
