Reckless
Theo Tams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not part of the plans I made, I wasn't looking for anyone
It's never like that in this world
Always feels like it's somewhere else but hey, there you were
You fell apart in my hands, oh
All the pieces knew exactly where to land
We're spinning out of control
And we don't care where it goes
It's somewhere out there
Hey, where are we gonna go now?
I hope we'll find our way home
Who wants to be safe?
I wanna be reckless
There is something about us together
No one else really gets it, they just want what we got
Started out when I saw you
I was trying to warn you but you wouldn't stay away
You fell apart in my hands, whoa
And all the pieces knew exactly where to land
But hey, what are we gonna do now?
We're spinning out of control
And we don't care where it goes
It's somewhere out there
Hey, where are we gonna go now?
I hope we'll find our way home
Who wants to be safe?
I wanna be reckless
Whoa, oh, oh, I wanna be reckless
What are we gonna do? What do we do now?
Where are we gonna go? Where do we go now?
What are we gonna say? What do we say now?
What are we gonna do? What do we do now?
Where are we gonna go? Where do we go now?
What are we gonna say? What do we say now?
But hey, what are we gonna do now?
We're spinning out of control
And we don't care where it goes
It's somewhere out there
Hey, where are we gonna go now?
I hope we'll find our way home
Who wants to be safe?
I wanna be reckless
What are we gonna do? What do we do now?
Where are we gonna go? Where do we go now?
What are we gonna say? What do we say now?
Who wants to be safe?
I wanna be reckless
The lyrics of Theo Tams's song "Reckless" speak to the unpredictability and excitement of falling in love unexpectedly. The singer expresses surprise at the turn of events, stating that their current situation was not part of the plans they had made for themselves. Despite this, they find themselves enamored with their love interest in a way that no one else can understand. The chorus expresses a desire to continue down this unknown path, to not worry about the destination but to enjoy the journey, to be reckless.
The lines "You fell apart in my hands, oh / All the pieces knew exactly where to land" evoke a sense of completeness and destiny. The singer feels as though they were meant to be with their love interest, as if every piece of their being fits perfectly together. The repetition of "What are we gonna do now?" and "Where are we gonna go now?" contributes to the sense of uncertainty and excitement that comes with surrendering to love.

Started out when I saw you
Our relationship began when I first noticed you
I was trying to warn you but you wouldn't stay away

We are questioning our next steps and what the future holds
Where are we gonna go? Where do we go now?
