[Verse 1]
Dancing with your shadow, shadow
Talking to your echo, echo
I don't wanna let go, let go
Maybe I'm just haunted by your ghost?
'Cause all of my words turn to ash in my mouth
When I'm talking to your echo, echo
I don't wanna let go, let go
[Chorus]
Gotta be careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
Might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
I might not wanna wake up
[Verse 2]
Sharper than a dagger, dagger
Our Iove was a hazard, hazard
But I'd rather have you, have you
In my dreams than not at all
All of the words that come out of your mouth
Are sharper than a dagger, dagger
[Chorus]
Gotta be careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
Might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
I might not wanna wake up
[Post-Chorus]
Careful what I dream of
I don't wanna wake up
[Bridge]
Even when I can't see your face
I can feel your hands around my waist
Every night, it's the same old scene
But when the morning comes
You're never here with me
[Chorus]
Gotta be careful what I dream of
Careful what I wish for
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
Might not wanna wake up
Careful what I dream of
Careful not to need you
Careful in my sleep
Careful what I dream of
I might not wanna wake up
[Post-Chorus]
(Careful what I dream of)
(Might not wanna wake up)
Careful what I dream of
Might not wanna wake up
(Careful what I dream of)
(Might not wanna wake up)
Careful what I dream of
Might not wanna wake up
[Outro]
Dancing with your shadow, shadow
Talking to your echo, echo
I don't wanna let go, let go

We wrote this song two years ago in LA with a few of my favorite writers. It took a while to find the right arrangement for it, but I always knew I wanted it to be cinematic. It’s a beautiful synthesis of strength and vulnerability, which feels very much like me and I’m so happy to finally put it ou...
