Careless

Glen Phillips

You grew up alone in a big empty house

With a pool and a maid, Mom and Dad always out

And I always thought that you had it so good

Just imagine my surprise when they blew off the roof



I couldn't be more careless

You're probably dead and I'm just embarrassed



From out of the fire and into a flame

When you got too skinny you moved to LA

Just a regular city dropped from a great height

With the millions inside just along for the ride



And I couldn't be more careless

You're probably dead and I'm just embarrassed



To be the one who always had it nice

With not a clue and too much advice



I'll let you live your life like you let me live mine

So whatever you need it's just fine, it's just fine

You've been here before, you'll probably be back again

'Till the hair of that dog is too frayed at both ends



And I couldn't be more careless

You're probably dead and I'm just embarrassed
