The Less I Knew [Alt Version]

A beating heart is thrown out of a car in the dark
I find it and I check it for scars, make sure it's clean
Then I go back inside
'Cause there's nothing for me here in the night
Just that helicopter buzzing nearby, ruining my sleep

But I could hear a strong vibration when I look at you, you
Everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too

Is this what it takes
What it takes to be impossibly great?
'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less
The less I knew the better
Please just be kind when I drag myself out on to the line
In the end I think that maybe the less, the less
The less I knew the better

Now that heart and me
At first we get on so splendidly
Called you but you never seem free
We just drove around for a while
But then the poetry of silence
It has this way of catching me and that heart
Rises to tell us that all of this is grief
Everything you love is a shame

So I open up my window and I throw that heart through, through
Now everybody knows my failures, well I know theirs too, too

Is this what it takes
What it takes to be impossibly great?
'Cause if it is then I think maybe the less, the less
The less I knew the better
Please just be kind when I drag myself out on to the line
'Cause in the end I think that maybe the less, the less
The less I knew the better
The less I knew the better

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
