Curious, Not Careless

[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
