A beating heart gets thrown out of a car in the dark I find it and I check it for scars and make sure it's clean Then I go back inside 'cause there's nothing for us here in the night Just a helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep But I can feel a strong vibration when I look at you, you Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too Is this what it takes; what it takes to be impossibly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out on through the line 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Now that heart and me At first we get on so splendidly And we called you but you never seemed free So we just drove around for a while But then the poetry of silence It has this way of catching me and that heart And it rises to tell us that all of this is grief And everything we love is a shame So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too So is this what it takes; what it takes to be supposedly great? 'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better Please just be kind when I drag myself out onto the night 'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less The less I knew the better The less I knew the better Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
