[Verse]
Why can't I ever choose the simple way
In front of me?
I ought to know by now
What lingers will still remain
But I'm only happy when I'm living dangerously
I know, I'm forever searching for another day
Where something's gotta give in me
[Pre-Chorus]
We all need
A fantasy
I just need
Somewhere to go
Somewhere to stay
Somewhere to be
[Chorus]
This reckless heart is ever burning
But I'm always on the run
This reckless heart is ever yearning
Maybe you could be someone
'Cause I know just
What I wanna be
And I do so, do so desperately
This reckless heart is ever burning
[Verse]
Gone are the days when this was new to me
Uncertainty
Maybe I lost myself somewhere I just can't recall
Gone are the days of never-ending soliloquy
I know, you talk to yourself so long you hit a wall
Can't tell the dreamer from the dream
[Pre-Chorus]
We all need
A fantasy
I just need
Somewhere to go
Somewhere to stay
Somewhere to be
[Chorus]
This reckless heart is ever burning
But I'm always on the run
This reckless heart is ever yearning
Maybe you could be someone
'Cause I know just
What I wanna be
And I do so, do so desperately
This reckless heart is ever burning
[Bridge]
You never, you never, you never let me go
You only, you only, you only wanna hold
You never, you never, you never let me go
You only, you only, you only wanna hold
Me down
[Chorus]
This reckless heart is ever burning
But I'm always on the run
This reckless heart is ever yearning
Maybe you could be someone
'Cause I know just
What I wanna be
And I do so, do so desperately
This reckless heart is ever burning, ah
[Outro]
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go (never let me go)
You never let me go
