Red Flag

(album: Young & Unafraid - 2016)

There's a warning in the comfort
That you're too good to be true
They tell me over and over
There's someone better for you
You're the warmth I feel beside me
And the fear of growing cold
The continual reminder
Of the risk we take when we get involved
I've been warned enough

You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise
You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise

At the pace that we've been running
When our lungs begin to sting
I'm hearing over and over
"Moderation in all things"
So love won't you forgive me?
If I cannot slow this down
When my body bends to weakness
Your voice will be the sound
That conceals the pain

You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise
You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise

Love is a one-way street
Headed away from me
Love is a one-way street
Headed away from me
Away from me

You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise
You were the only red flag
The only red flag that I could never raise

Love is a one-way street
Headed away from me
Love is a one-way street
Headed away from me
