Playin' It By Heart

(album: Emilia - 2000)

In my mind I always seemed to have a good reason,
Any reason I could find to keep away from being too open,
Things get broken.
But all that it got me was loneliness,
Now that I found you,
I'm not leaving nothing to chance.

I'm playing it by heart,
I'm through with waiting.
Playing it by heart,
No hesitating.
Gonna trust in what I'm feeling.
You've given me something to believe in.
I'm playing it by heart.

Look at me,
Being loved the way I dreamed of,
Always dreamed of.
Now I'm free to let out all my deepest emotions,
Overflowing.
Playing it safe gets you empty nights,
Your love has made me ready for this risk of it all,oh.

I'm playing it by heart,
No second guessing.
I'm playing it by heart,
I learned my lesson.
Gonna trust in what I'm feeling,
You've given me something to believe in.
I'm playing it by heart.

Turn on the radio,
Now the words ring true.
I finally understand what they mean,
'Cause every song of love is about you,about you.

I'm playing it by heart,
I'm through with waiting.
I'm playing it by heart,
No hesitating.
Gonna trust in what I'm feeling,
You've given me something to believe in
An honest place to start.

We're playing it by heart.
