Scared of Drowning

The night we met
My car broke down
You stayed with me
And stuck around
I cursed and showed
My worst that night
You talked me down
Under the street light

What did you think
Of my hot temper
Not the best
First impression
I yelled and screamed
Like hell that night
You kept it calm
Under the moonlight

What did she think
When you came home late
What did your wife think
That you saved me

That girl’s a little off

And a little bit reckless
A little bit dangerous
Ferrel and ferocious
Let’s be honest

I’m a little bit reckless
And a little bit dangerous
Ferrel and ferocious
Yeah, let’s be honest

The night I found out
That she left you
Did you hear
The whisper breakthrough
The words shook down
my fragile heart
I cried right there
inside that restaurant

That winter night
You held me tight
In the living room
By firelight
It felt so good
it scared me silent
I should have told you all
I shoulda have you all

And been a little bit reckless
And a little bit dangerous
Ferrel and ferocious
Yeah, Let’s be honest

I’m a little bit reckless
And a little bit dangerous
Ferrel and ferocious
Yeah, let’s be honest
Let’s be honest

Last summer at the pool
You looked at me like I was water
Like I was some kind of tsunami
And you were scared of drowning

After the plunge, it changes
After the plunge, we could be famous
So let’s jump on in
Let’s take the plunge
Let’s be the ones
who risked
it all for love
