Sweaty hands, quicksand
Know I should, but I'm scared I can't
It's a big move, everything to lose
What if it's nothing like the way I planned
What if, what if I fail
What if chasing my dream's just chasing my tail
Do I listen to the voice telling me to stay
Or listen to the voice that's screaming out
Just go
Just go with your heart
Go with the flow
There's only one way you're ever gonna know
This town, safe and sound
Already know my way around
Got a few good friends and a few good men
That'll buy me flowers and take me out
What if, what if I stay
Do I really want to spend the rest of my days
On a dead-end street in a dead-end job
I could live like that, but my dreams won't stop
Just go
Just go with your heart
Go with the flow
There's only one way you're ever gonna know
Just forget it
Everybody said it
But I know I'd regret it if I didn't
Go, just go
Just go
Just go with your heart
Go with the flow
There's only one way you're ever gonna know
