[Verse 1] You stop to watch a beetle haul a crumb Across the cracked white line beside the school I wait while traffic folds its engines shut Then let you tell me what you think it’s doing [Pre-Chorus] I can keep a promise, hold a boundary Still be caught by rain on a windowpane [Chorus] Keep the wide-eyed question, keep the steady hand Wonder isn’t recklessness; it learns where it can stand I can laugh at tiny worlds and still be someone you can trust Curious, not careless—that’s the balance I want [Verse 2] You build a paper city on the floor I ask before I step across its streets We clear the table when the work is done And save the best small tower for next week [Bridge] Not every no is a door slammed shut Not every yes means throwing sense away I’ll meet the strange with both my feet on ground And leave my certainty some space to bend [Final Chorus] Keep the wide-eyed question, keep the steady hand Wonder isn’t recklessness; it learns where it can stand I can laugh at tiny worlds and still be someone you can trust Curious, not careless—that’s the balance I want
