Intro – Spoken
Yeah…
I know what the signs say.
I just don’t like being told what to do.
Verse 1
I used to like ’em steady, little safe, little slow,
Sunday brunch, good credit, somewhere sensible to go.
Then you rolled up laughing with your bare feet on the dash,
Said, “I’m only staying one night”—then you never unpacked.
Your ex is in your contacts with a skull beside his name,
You say, “Don’t ask questions,” then you ask me just the same.
Every instinct in me says I oughta turn around,
But you turn the radio up, and my foot keeps going down.
Pre-Chorus
My friends say, “Man, she’s trouble.”
I say, “Yeah, I know.”
But trouble never looked this good
With the windows down low.
Chorus
You’re a walking warning label, a beautiful wreck,
Running every red light, got me losing my head.
Every sign says stop, but I’m pressing the gas,
Loving every second of a bad thing moving fast.
Got a million red flags waving in the night,
Dashboard screaming danger, but it feels so right.
I know I oughta slow down, but I’m holding on tight—
You got red flags, baby,
But all I see is green lights.
Post-Chorus
Red flags, green lights,
Wrong turn, right night.
Red flags, green lights,
Hold on, hold on tight.
Verse 2
You got three unpaid tickets and a suitcase in the hall,
A tattoo with a backstory you don’t remember at all.
You kiss me like a secret, disappear just like a crime,
Then send a little “You awake?” at exactly closing time.
You’re allergic to commitment, I’m addicted to the chase,
Every time I find the exit, you put summer on your face.
No plans, no destination, no idea where this goes,
You just laugh and pull me closer when the warning siren blows.
Pre-Chorus
My mama says, “Be careful.”
My heart says, “Let her drive.”
She might be all wrong for me,
But damn, I feel alive.
Chorus
You’re a walking warning label, a beautiful wreck,
Running every red light, got me losing my head.
Every sign says stop, but I’m pressing the gas,
Loving every second of a bad thing moving fast.
Got a million red flags waving in the night,
Dashboard screaming danger, but it feels so right.
I know I oughta slow down, but I’m holding on tight—
You got red flags, baby,
But all I see is green lights.
Post-Chorus
Red flags, green lights,
Wrong turn, right night.
Red flags, green lights,
Hold on, hold on tight.
Bridge – Half-Time
Maybe you’re a lesson
I refuse to learn.
Maybe I just like the heat
Of standing where it burns.
Maybe by tomorrow
We’ll be smoke beneath the sky,
But I’d rather lose my good sense
Than let this pass me by.
Breakdown – Spoken
Check engine.
Low fuel.
Poor judgment.
Perfect.
Final Chorus
You’re a walking warning label, and I’ve read every word,
Every caution, every rumor, every story that I’ve heard.
Every sign says stop, but I’m pressing the gas,
’Cause some mistakes are too much fun to leave there in the past.
Got a million red flags waving in the night,
I can see ’em all clearly—I just don’t care tonight.
Maybe this goes nowhere, but it’s worth it for the ride—
You got red flags, baby,
But all I see is green lights.
Final Post-Chorus
Red flags, green lights,
Wrong turn, right night.
Red flags, green lights,
Hands up, hold on tight.
Red flags, green lights,
No brakes, no alibis.
You got red flags, baby…
But all I see is green lights.
Outro – Spoken
We should probably slow down.
Probably.
