lyrics

You can only play it so safe. There's only so much security life can bring.
You hold back on every chance you take, is it worse than always wondering could I be more?
Could I have it all?
If I take this jump, is it worth the fall?
If I get what I want, how long til it's taken away?
Wrapped up in a game & I can't stay.
In the back of my mind there's always something missing...In the back of my mind there's always something I'm thinking.
I had a dream that we'd be in New York City,
I'd be in love with the music & you'd be in love with me.
They say its impossible, well maybe, but nothings impossible to me.
I got my plans & my bags packed, when I leave tomorrow I hope I never come back.
And it's perfect, maybe I'm just crazy...
But we could be the people that we've always wanted to be.
Don't have the money but we'll find a way to stay.
Cause the lights they are calling & the city's awake at night.
Anything could happen if we play our cards right.
I had a dream that we'd be in New York City,
I'd be in love with the music & you'd be in love with me.
They say its impossible, well maybe, but nothings impossible to me.
I got my plans & my bags packed, when I leave tomorrow I hope I never come back.
Would you follow, could you, could you follow?
Will you run with me?
Would you follow, could you could follow?
Will you run with me?
