Careful Creature

I know she's great The greatest you've ever known And I'll bet she makes your bed And you wash your clothes I can see that you're happy With the love that you chose But you could've had me All those years ago And all this time I've wasted Saying I don't care at All these years I've been here, all along And I adore you in these shadows Careful creature I wish I was the one that you loved The one that you loved The one that you loved The one that you loved And I know I'm late I shouldn't have took my time Remember that day on the top of a hill where the stars aligned And I could be mistaken But there's something you hide Like if I'd have confided Would you have decided that you'd be mine? But all this time I've wasted Saying I don't care at all These years I've been here, all along And I adore you in these shadows Careful creature I wish I was the one that you loved The one that you loved The one that you loved The one that you loved I wish I was the one that you loved The one that you loved The one that you loved But I know she's great The greatest you've ever known And I'll bet she makes your bed You wash her clothes I can see that you're happy With the love that you chose But you could have had me When I was twenty-four (That was it. That was the take)
