Naive Lyrics
The drama, detention, suspension of disbelief
The constant attention offers you no relief
Your pain is not special, sentence is soaked in deceit
It's inconsequential and you sing so sweetly
We all hurt the same
Convince them completely
The fires you light rise straight to the heavens
She said to me
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
You're poised and you're perfect, face of the fallen destroyed
Call out and curse it and everything else you avoid
Your comets burn brighter but you still feel the sting
They lift up their lighters and sing so sweetly
We all hurt the same
Can never defeat me
The words you sing rain down like the heavens
She said to me
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
You can fool yourself
And maybe someone else like me
And if you're anyone's salvation
Then there's nothing left for me
She said to me
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
You can fool yourself
And maybe someone else like me
And if you're anyone's salvation
Then there's nothing left for me
The fires you light rise straight to the heavens
The constant attention offers you no relief
Your pain is not special, sentence is soaked in deceit
It's inconsequential and you sing so sweetly
Convince them completely
The fires you light rise straight to the heavens
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
Call out and curse it and everything else you avoid
Your comets burn brighter but you still feel the sting
They lift up their lighters and sing so sweetly
Can never defeat me
The words you sing rain down like the heavens
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
And maybe someone else like me
And if you're anyone's salvation
Then there's nothing left for me
Darling well please don't be so naive
You could burn like a constellation
But don't go before I leave
And maybe someone else like me
And if you're anyone's salvation
Then there's nothing left for me

this is a great song. by far one of JS best songs. i give it two thumbs up. and i give two thumbs up people's asses if they dont like this song.
One of the catchiest songs I've ever heard.
I think this song is a clever conversation on song writers and how they are adored.
I agree with powerbait. I think it's about how most can relate to the hurt and other feelings in the songs that singers write. At the same time they are not saving anyone's lives from a distance. Like, they have all these fans who can relate to them, but maybe they are being naive in believing that it's real, that the fans really know them. The fans are naive for believing the same thing as well, as if the singer is talking directly to or about them. When in reality he has a real person at home away from his performing life that is waiting for him to be all he sings about to her.
