Play It Safe

Don't wish lightly on a star No matter how lucky you think you are Because dreams they do come true Even the bad ones do Don't wish Lightly on a star Don't think about him too much There's a reason why they call it a crush You know thoughts are like balloons You can cut 'em loose Don't you think of him too much You know what they say about playing it safe If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space My mama told me if you blink You could miss the whole damn thing 'Cause no one sees the dream Once it turns reality You could miss it if you blink If only I could come undone Then I could give you all my love But I can look you in the eye Say I'm not afraid to try Come see me if you want You know what they say about playing it safe If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space The best people were mistakes Conceived in the back of a Chevrolet So you pour some love on your pain You don't get to choose sunshine over rain Tell me now, where would I be if I played it safe?
