[Verse 1] We lined up at the curb Like it was just a game You grinned at the stoplight Said, “Bet I beat your name” I laughed and chased you hard Wind in my jacket sleeve One wrong turn, one hard hit Then I couldn’t breathe [Pre-Chorus] I woke up to sirens Cold ground in my hair Your face in the crowd Like you were already there My mom was shaking My dad looked torn apart And you were right beside me Holding all my weight and heart [Chorus] One reckless choice And now I’m here One reckless choice It cut so near You say stay close So I lean in One reckless choice Changed everything [Verse 2] Hospital walls got white And time got way too loud You showed up with my books Like you knew how I drown Math on the tray table Laughing through the pain You made the small room softer Made the hours feel less insane But when you turn away There’s a bruise behind your eyes You say “don’t ask me yet” And I believe those lies [Pre-Chorus] You got a war inside You won’t put into words I see it in your silence Every time your name gets heard And there’s a girl who checks on me With eyes that don’t pretend She’s not who I expected Maybe I was wrong again [Chorus] One reckless choice And now I’m here One reckless choice It cut so near You say stay close So I lean in One reckless choice Changed everything [Bridge] My best friend won’t look straight Says you’re trouble, says beware He knew me when I was fearless Knew every scar I wear He’s hurt that I’m moving Toward a face he can’t erase And I hate that I’m the reason For the crack across his place [Pre-Chorus] You feel like my future He feels like where I’m from Both of you pulling hard now And I don’t know what I’ve done If I reach for one hand Does the other one go? What if love is a door That I’m not ready to close? [Chorus] One reckless choice And now I’m here One reckless choice It cut so near You say stay close So I lean in One reckless choice Changed everything [Outro] Maybe warnings are love in disguise Maybe pain can still be kind Maybe one road saves your heart And leaves another behind
