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, 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

'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 wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause 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 cannot keep my hands clean
Oh, whoa, oh

Even though, every sign says save yourself
Read the warnings to my health
I don't wanna help myself
Oh, whoa, oh 

'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 wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving

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
Can't be 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 wanna be good but I'm gonna be bad
'Cause I can see the red flags waving
I can see the red flags waving

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
(Red flags waving)
Red
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
(Red flags waving)
'Cause I can see the red, red flags waving, waving
I can see the red flags
(Red flags)
Waving
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
