The secret of love, I thought I understood the way it's supposed to be. I never imagined you could blow my theory apart. But now you're running away with my heart I don't wanna think about it, don't wanna think clear, don't analyze what I'm doing here. Wanna be impulsive, reckless, and lose myself in your kiss. Arrows through hearts drawn on a misty window. You're taking me home in the rain. My heart is beating. Don't say no. My head keeps saying take it slow. I don't wanna think about it, don't wanna think clear, don't analyze what I'm doing here. Wanna be impulsive, reckless, and lose myself in your kiss. You're giving me a feeling it's a sudden rush. Acting on the moment, it's spontaneous. Wo wo oh. This is not like me to follow my heart so easily. I am reckless, impulsive. I never imagined you could blow my theory apart. But you're running away with my heart, my heart. I don't wanna think about it, don't wanna think clear, don't analyze what I'm doing here. Wanna be impulsive, reckless and lose myself in your kiss. You're givin' feeling. It's a sudden rush. Acting on the moment, it's spontaneous. Wanna be impulsive, reckless, and lose my self in your kiss. Impulsive, I wanna be impulsive. I'm gonna be impulsive, reckless and lose myself,
