“Careful” is a song about finding one’s place in the world. It was one of the first demos for Brand New Eyes and Hayley discusses that one should search for one’s purpose rather than look at what everyone else is doing.
A lot of controversies came with the song as Josh Farro posted a blog on his we...
Careful Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I settled down a twisted-up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would've never known
I had it all, but not what I wanted
'Cause hope, for me, was a place uncharted
And overgrown
[Pre-Chorus]
You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this
You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free so I did it myself
[Chorus]
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
A little more, more
More, more, more
[Verse 2]
Open your eyes like I opened mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know
Shifting your weight to throw off the pain
Well, you can ignore it
But only for so long
[Pre-Chorus]
You look like I did
You resist me just like this
You can't tell me to heal
And it hurts remembering how it felt to shut down
[Chorus]
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
A little more, more
More, more, more
[Bridge]
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free
The truth never set me free so I'll do it myself
[Chorus]
You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
Can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out
More, more
More, more, more
