Lyrics

I'm a brave aviator
In the stories that I write
A fearless lion-tamer
Baring it all every night
And there's nothing I won't tell
When I'm behind my guitar
But when I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart
When I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart

You can say I'm reckless
For the chances that I take
You can say I'm hopeless
For all the losing bets I make
You know I'm hell on wheels
Not afraid to fall apart
But when I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart
When I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart

I have slain dragons
But none wearing your clothes
With all your good intentions
And your disarming prose
These words are a talisman
To protect against love's start
When I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart
And I might well be a fool
But there's one way I am smart
When I'm standing beside you
I am careful with my heart
