Oh I'm already at a loss You're an ocean I can't cross And my heart will pay the cost
I know you're a battle luring me in Say the water's safe to swim Let the story now begin
'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
Though every sign says "save yourself" Read the warnings to my health I don't want to help myself
'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
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
Can't play it safe
'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
I can see the red flags waving, waving I can see the red flags waving
