	About a friend, out of control.
	Credits: John Caricato on piano
	Story Behind the Song This one was completed over a period of about two years. The original version was about Oscar Wilde, and the first line is a remnant of that. Then I rewrote the lyrics about a friend who had been spinning out of control. I also tossed out the original chorus chords and wrote new ones. John Caricato plays heartbreakingly beautiful piano here. Lyrics Little dreamer You came on your popularity much too late to save you. You were alone so long, But friends surround you now And each addition wants a little more than the one before. They may think you're funny, Distracting while they play. But then the night slows down, You barely recognize the town. And though you feel something in your bones You hail a cab to take you home. After the nighttime is through, Doubt never catches up to you. Once you were on your own, Now you give your time away. Hours that once belonged to you Now flicker past your bloodshot view. You don't know where the hell you've been Or where you'll go or why or when. After the nighttime is through, Doubt never catches up to you. Not so long ago, Loneliness had you by the throat And you swore you'd never choke.
