Discover the story of the song > Careless – Neil Finn

The protagonist asks how many things there are in the world, like cabs in NYC, angels on a pin, notes on a saxophone, and tears in a bottle of gin. He admits that he's been careless and closed himself off from friends and family, but his partner was there for him and brought him back. Despite this, he wonders how many stars there are in the Milky Way and how many ways you can lose a friend.
