These days, they say Nothing lasts the way it should Only fools think There's a point in trusting something good Call me crazy But I can't keep you off my mind It's hopeless, they say We should know better, best we never Try to forget what we've learned to believe But I say
Let's be naive If it's the only way to keep from breaking Let's make believe that things never change Hold onto me And bury the doubts away beneath my heartbeat If wisdom says we should be walking away I'd rather be naive
Careful, jaded And always bracing for the fall That's no way to love, babe But there was a time before we'd seen it All falling down, can we trust what we see? Cause I say
Let's be naive If it's the only way to keep from breaking Let's make believe that things never change Hold onto me And bury the doubts away beneath my heartbeat If wisdom says we should be walking away I'd rather be naive
And maybe we're headed for a heartbreak But we've got to let that go They say that we're skating on fables Just waiting to tell us, "I told you so" But I say love is simple, but what do I know? Let's be naive (naive, naive), yeah
Let's be naive If it's the only way to keep from breaking Let's make believe that things never change Hold onto me And bury the doubts away beneath my heartbeat If wisdom says we should be walking away I'd rather be naive
