all by ear

i've got to rush away
i'm holding on to something here
you told me you loved me
does that mean i can hurt you
it's all i've ever known
my eyes have grown weak
i can't keep looking for the future
it's just so much quieter here

i say let's just play it all by ear
new york is still warm this time of year

just because no one's around
doesn't mean i'm all alone
i'm just thinkin bout why i cried
maybe i felt the same way yesterday
somehow i think you've known
you just couldn't reach out that far
or i was just too proud to reach back
but i've always wanted you here

and i say lets just play it all by ear
new york is still warm this time of year

everything changes
don't let go but don't hold back
everything changes
i'm so scared but i don't care
i hope we can play it all by ear
new york is still warm this time of year
