[Verse 1] You wrote it on a dare With a grin and shaky hands Threw it up into the air Then watched it hit the land Now the floor feels strange Like it knows your name What you called in play Walked right in the frame [Pre-Chorus] Careful what you wish Careful what you feed Some doors stay shut Till you give them the key [Chorus] Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Just might get it (just might get it) Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Then you gotta live with it [Verse 2] That old text came back At the edge of midnight One small yes turned black In the amber light You asked for more Now it won't let go What you said for fun Grew a taste for your soul [Pre-Chorus] Careful what you wish Careful what you name Some dreams come sweet Then they burn the same [Chorus] Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Just might get it (just might get it) Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Then you gotta live with it [Bridge] You can laugh it off You can call it fate But the thing you invite Don't always wait One more wish One more lie Now it's standing there In your own disguise [Final Chorus] Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Just might get it (just might get it) Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Then you gotta live with it Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Just might get it (just might get it) Be careful what you wish (what you wish) Then you gotta live with it
