[Verse 1]

Oh, I'm already at a loss

You're an ocean I can't cross

And my heart will pay the cost

Oh-whoa-oh

I know you're about to lure me in

Say "The water's safe to swim"

Let the story now begin

Oh, whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

But I know my heart is cavin' in

I can see there's just no savin' me

There's no way out, I'm goin' in

I wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

I can see the red flags wavin'

[Verse 2]

Nobody but myself to blame

Like a moth darts to the flame

I cannot keep my hands clean

Oh-whoa

Even though every sign says "Save yourself"

Read the warnings to my health

I don't wanna help myself

Oh-whoa-oh-oh

[Chorus]

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

But I know my heart is cavin' in

I can see there's just no savin' me

There's no way out, I'm goin' in

I wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

I can see the red flags wavin'

[Bridge]

I wanna be smart

Wanna protect my heart from pain along the way

But I can't hold back

Wanna step on the cracks

I just can't play it safe

I can't play it safe

[Chorus]

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

But I know my heart is cavin' in

I can see there's just no savin' me

There's no way out, I'm goin' in

I wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin'

I can see the red flags wavin'

[Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, red

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

'Cause I can see the red flags wavin', wavin'

I can see the red flag wavin'

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
