From the recording 3. Wreck In Love Wreckin' Love
This song was inspired by the fact that "wreck" can be both a state and an action and that you can be wrecked (due to being in love) and also be causing your relationship to become wrecked. It's a light-hearted song and I enjoyed finding odd rhymes for it ("reckon" with "neck in" and "beckon"; "soakin" with "awoken").

WRECK IN LOVE WRECKIN' LOVE

Has your lover, you forsaken? All your best been taken?
Have curses, now been spoken?
Hearts in pieces, all broken?
You stuck your neck in when love did beckon.
"Way too late!" Oh, now you reckon.
You can't just check out, but just can't check in, when you're ...
Wreckin' love, train-wreckin' love, plane-wreckin' love, insane wreckin' love.
A Wreck in love, train wreck in love, plane wreck in love, insane wreck in love.
All your trust, now eroded, as the lies all exploded.
Your love, so devoted,
Now just so imploded.
You stuck your neck in when love did beckon.
But thinking now "Just wait a second!"
You can't just check out, but just can't check in, 'cause you're ...
Wreckin' love, train-wreckin' love, plane-wreckin' love, insane wreckin' love.
A wreck in love, train wreck in love, plane wreck in love, insane wreck in love.
Do you feel, just awoken, to a nightmare, clothes all soakin'?
Gasping, gagging, weezing, choking,
Sobbing, dying, but sighing and hoping?
You stuck your neck in when love did beckon.
Took the bait and now you reckon,
You can't just check out, but just can't check in, 'cause you're ...
Wreckin' love, "What-the-heck?!" in love, up-to-your-neck in love, a wreck in love,
Wreckin' love, "What-the-heck?!" in love, up-to-your-neck in love, a wreck in love.
Love, wreckin' love,
Wreck in love, wreckin' love.
