Lyrics
Playing it by Heart
Hey Charlie, this used to be a garden
used to be a place we could go to and talk
and tell each other lies
hell no, it?s not like we were liars
it?s only that things never turn out like we plan
I doubt they ever can
when you?re playing it by heart
I can recall most of what we said
girls we hardly knew but hoped to bed
and bullshit that boys use to swell their heads
I wonder why we do that
we?d talk about the things we planned to see and do
dreams that somehow fade and disappear from view
but look at me and hey you?re looking back at you
still playing it by heart
playing it by heart
Hey Charlie, did you ever get to China
did you ever have your foreign affair
with a girl from Shangrila
as for me well, I?m still working on my millions
but I still know how to laugh and when to cry
and I still know how to dream
and I?m still playing it by heart
playing it by heart
playing it by heart
