Lyrics

Back In NY ©1996 Rob Holzer
Written by: Rob Holzer

Me with my problems and you with your fears,
yeah its gonna be hard babe,
to leave this paradise behind, who knows what we'll find out there.

We packed up our bags, closed all the doors, said our goodbyes,
hopped in my car, took a deep breath,
and headed back across America.

Baby what we looking for?
What do we hope to be?
What's gonna happen to things between you and me?
As we drive back to the real world,
two lonely believers,
clutching tight to dreams we can't let go,
if we only could know...

"Take a chance you only live once, your young" they say,
but I grew up in that city and saw dreams die every day.
But I have faith and feel strong, reassured in this desert light,
that when we arrive in Manhattan, everything's gonna be alright

'Cause baby what we looking for?
What do we hope to be?
What's gonna happen to things between you and me?
As we drive back to the real world,
two lonely believers,
clutching tight to dreams we can't let go,
if we only could know...

I just want to be one of those people on TV.
And I know baby that you want to be one too.
But we'll have to see back in NY if our dreams will ever come true.
Said I just want to be one of those people in the scene.
And I know baby that you want to be there too,
but we'll have to see back in NY if our dreams will ever, ever come true.
