Lyrics

My ego's

Expressing a sense of self-importance or pride

Writing cheques

Engaging in actions that exceed one's capabilities

My body can't cash em and I ain't finished yet

Acknowledging past actions, not yet completed, and a desire to continue

You'll find me

Positioning oneself in an elevated or notable location

Flying high

Emphasizing a state of being exhilarated or triumphant

Why stay on the ground, you could be touching the sky

Encouraging others to aim high and achieve remarkable feats


I need the speed

Expressing a need for speed and excitement

I need that fly romancewhy do it slow when you can live it fast

Preferring a fast-paced and thrilling lifestyle over a slow one

I'll tell you now there ain't nothing wrong

Asserting that there's nothing inherently wrong with taking risks

With flying to close, flying to close to the sun

Acknowledging the consequences of daring greatly, possibly with a cautionary tone


A Maverick,

Identifying as a nonconformist, someone who challenges norms

Break the rules

Expressing a willingness to break established rules

I'll show you things they never teach you in school

Highlighting an unconventional approach to learning and experiencing life


I'm reckless,

Describing a lack of caution or restraint

Off the chain

Being unrestrained, possibly in behavior or actions

Turning and burning

Engaging in intense and passionate activities

I'll be kissing the flame

Accepting the consequences of risky behavior, akin to "kissing the flame"


I need the rush

Expressing a desire for excitement and adrenaline

I need the open air

Desiring freedom and a lack of constraints

You say I'm crazy I just don't really care

Indifferent to judgments or criticisms about one's perceived madness

I'll tell you now there ain't nothing wrong

Reiterating the acceptance of risks in pursuing one's desires

With flying to close, flying to close to the sun

Echoing the theme of the potential dangers of daring too much


There ain't no prize for coming second place

Stressing the all-or-nothing nature of the pursuit, with no reward for second place

It's all or nothing I ain't gonna change.

Commitment to maintaining one's chosen path without compromise
