Reckless
Randy Montana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another day's gonna leave us behind if we let it
Rain's drippin' against the glass
I swear its whisper, you gotta take a chance
Or you'll regret it, oh, let's not regret it
Let's get reckless, reckless with our hearts
Let's find us some danger in the dark
Roll like a twister, spin across the ground
Who cares about fences
We'll just tear 'em down
Can't hold us in
Instead of sittin' like two birds on a wire
Let's sail away on a wave of desire
Get wrapped up in the wind
Girl, get crazy again
Let's get reckless, reckless with our hearts
Let's find us some danger in the dark
Slow dance in a hurricane
Play a game of chicken with a fast movin' train
Let's make this night an open road
Let's take this as far as it can go
Wild and free, you and me, reckless
While the wheels are turnin'
The fire is burnin'
Girl, we're already in it
Let's take love to the limit
Yeah, and get reckless, reckless with our hearts
Let's find us some danger in the dark
Wild and free, you and me, reckless
Yeah, wild and free, you and me, reckless
