[Verse 1] You walked in like a match In a room full of rain Red hair, red lips And a body full of flame I said, baby, slow down You said, baby, come close Now the whole damn world Feels like it knows We stole a minute By the back door light Your hand on my throat My heart took flight And I swear, when you laughed It shook the glass I was already yours Before I asked [Pre-Chorus] Take me where they can see Take me where they can’t I don’t need a hideaway I need your hand Say my name like a prayer Make it hurt so good We’re a beautiful mess In the neighborhood [Chorus] Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re fearless (fearless) Red hair, red fire We burn the same Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re reckless (reckless) If the world wants a scene We’ll give it our name [Verse 2] On the train platform With your coat half off You kissed me hard And the whole crowd forgot On a bathroom mirror On a diner bench On a Ferris wheel On a chain-link fence In a blacked-out corner Of a midnight bar You traced my jaw Like a glowing scar And every place we land Turns wild and holy You’re the red-haired reason I lose control completely [Pre-Chorus] Take me where they can see Take me where they can’t I don’t need a safe word I need your hands Say my name like a warning Say it like you mean We’re a beautiful crime In the in-between [Chorus] Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re fearless (fearless) Red hair, red fire We burn the same Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re reckless (reckless) If the world wants a scene We’ll give it our name [Bridge] [Half-time] Let them stare Let them talk We were born to break Across the block In the cold, in the heat In the flood, in the chrome Every public place Turns into home You bite back a smile I bite down hard We leave our shadows On every parked car If love is a riot Then let it begin I’d lose you in the crowd Just to find you again [Chorus] Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re fearless (fearless) Red hair, red fire We burn the same Love me in the open (in the open) Love me like we’re reckless (reckless) If the world wants a scene We’ll give it our name [Outro] In the open In the open Red hair, red fire We burn the same In the open In the open You and me We don’t hide away
