To Get To You (55Th And 3Rd) Lyrics
Kenny Chesney
Lyrics
New York City
55th and 3rd
I reached my hand
And there you were
You led me where
I thought I wouldn't go
It's more than just my hand now
That you hold
There've been lessons learned
Pages turned
Even a few bridges burned
Love's become a frightening thing to do
Well I've been out
And I've been in
I've been scared to try again
You're worth every hurt
My heart's been through
I'd go through it all again
If I had to
To get to you
I still see us dancing in my mind
My arms stay around you all the time
Even when we're miles and miles apart
I reach out my hand
And there you are
There've been lessons learned
Pages turned
Even a few bridges burned
Love's become a frightening thing to do
Well I've been out
And I've been in
I've been scared to try again
You're worth every hurt
My heart's been through
I'd go through it all again
If I had to
To get to you
55th and 3rd (to get to you)
In a corner booth
I hung on every word (to get to you)
Your back beneath my hands
As close as we could be (to get to you)
You pulled me close
And danced the heart right outta me
And there've been lessons learned
Pages turned
Even a few bridges burned
Love's become a frightening thing to do
Well I've been out
And I've been in
I've been scared to love again
But you're worth every hurt
My heart's been through
I'd go through it all again
If I had to
To get to you
55th and 3rd
To get to you
Oh, I hung on every word
55th and 3rd
55th and 3rd
