I was dreaming such a usual scene about my love and me Walking to the coast alone But I was acting very foolishly Making serious things into stupid little jokes I know We saw people sitting by the beach and the ships at sea But no one was on their own I was acting very recklessly You took hold of me saying loneliness is not a joke But it was not you It was not you Careful with the careless heart Careful with the careless heart Join public with the downtown heat in the crooked streets The buildings that are made of clay I was choking on my broken teeth Trying to chew my grief Sick of fasting everyday We saw people driving down those streets And the beggars on their knees No one was on their But I was acting very recklessly You took hold of me saying loneliness is not a joke Careful with the careless heart Careful with the careless heart

Sometimes I wonder if I was older Would I still wear my brothers t-shirts? Sometimes I feel like if I was smarter I'd spend my time doing something a little more useful But I don't care if I don't ever change no My fitted armour in the pouring rain won't rust Cause I've been walking backwards With such a pleasant stagger One day I'll wake-up to find I've wasted all my days Like a sleepy playwright who feel asleep through all his plays But that don't scare me at all That don't scare me at all Cause I don't care if I don't ever change no My fitted armour in the pouring rain still rusts I've been walking backwards With such a pleasant stagger I'd rather be a beggar making paintings in the dirt Than drowning in my riches selling bibles in a church

I met a girl last night Was something from a dream though I was not asleep She didn't care about nothing I like She said I might be wrong but haven't we met? I never even introduced myself Then she said to me I could be your friend I could be your friend I could be your friend for all time And just as it was there The feeling faded like a memory of a dream I never once tried to bring it all back I lost my way retracing all of my steps I never even introduced myself Still I imagined hearing I could be your friend I could be your friend I could be your friend for all time

When I lie awake at night With paint between my fingers And the full moon in my eyes I think of everything And when I try to fix myself I can only come to terms with the fact that I'm not well I fix not a single thing The night seems so long Cause I can't sleep at night No I can't sleep at night I have been at times unfair But just like the feeling that you get when I'm not there My conscience speaks so slowly And when I try to tell the truth I can only come to terms with the fact that it's no use Maybe there's something in that Cause I can't sleep at night No I can't sleep at night
