Reckless Lyrics
Oh reckless, a boy wonder, so quiet, nose broken
Oh, you're standing there, look tired as you're singing
And you're on fire, they're throwing punches
So backwards, the landscape you thought you knew, it starts unwinding
Now you're jumping through their hoops
You're just trying to dodge all their questions
They're shooting bullets
'cause we all want to hear but you can't, you can't
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
Oh the horses, suits and ties, they will not hesitate to trample
You keep moving, stop moving, it's the same
You know if it's broken they'll try to fix it
It's a shame that, did they get you? They got you
Yeah they might have
Oh you're covering their mouths, they keep on talking
The parade it is coming, I hear them marching
'cause we all want to hear but you can't, you can't
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
And we all think we're right but we're wrong, we're wrong
And we all want to talk and we do, we do
They have convinced you
And it's so shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking
So shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking
Oh you cheated your fate now we can't read your face
You are gone
'cause we all want to hear but you can't, you can't
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
'cause we all want to hear but you can't, you can't
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
They have convinced you
Oh, you're standing there, look tired as you're singing
And you're on fire, they're throwing punches
So backwards, the landscape you thought you knew, it starts unwinding
Now you're jumping through their hoops
You're just trying to dodge all their questions
They're shooting bullets
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
You keep moving, stop moving, it's the same
You know if it's broken they'll try to fix it
It's a shame that, did they get you? They got you
Yeah they might have
Oh you're covering their mouths, they keep on talking
The parade it is coming, I hear them marching
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
And we all want to talk and we do, we do
They have convinced you
And it's so shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking
So shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking
Oh you cheated your fate now we can't read your face
You are gone
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
You are amazing
And we all want to see but you don't, you don't
They have convinced you

"Oh reckless, a boy wonder, so quiet, nose broken Oh, you're standing there, look tired as you're singing And you're on fire, they're throwing punches So backwards, the landscape you thought you knew, it starts unwinding Now you're jumping through their hoops You're just trying to dodge all their questions They're shooting bullets"
that is my favorite part of the song.. the way it goes.. the way the words fit together. it makes me smile. :)
i love the clip to this song
What an awesome song. It has a way of making me feel better whenever I listen to it.
the music video is adorable
When I saw this band, they left us with this song. It really brings back a positive vibe in me whenever I listen to it now.
something about this song just makes me happy. along with all tilly and the wall songs. the band has so much energy.
The little drum solo in the middle never fails to cheer me up.
Haha you guys are all funny, like saying the same thing but its always nice to hear happy people. i thought this song was more of people giving in to peer pressure etc. but i must admitt, it is quite fun to listen to! second favortie song.. nights of the living dead is first! (you just cant beat touching eachother OH MY GOD)
also its like giving credit to those who really are against all the shit in the world... those people are my idols!
