I think I'm tryin' too hard, wish I didn't have to try so hard
I wish it came to me like air, without a worry or a care
I would have told you everything and like a bell my voice would ring
And in the echo you would hear the mutter of one thousand fears
I've become taken with the high road 
No I can't reap a thing I sew
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it
I will in a New York minute 
He pushed her down on her luck
And why would she leave, she's already down
And how could she leave him now, finally agreed to settle down
She could have said just what she meant and dear dawn do never relent
It seems so easy to forget, you don't have to live with regret
I've become taken with the high road 
No I can't reap a thing I sew
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it
I will in a New York minute
How did you go so far without your heart, I know it's hard
But you gotta do your part, I'm through with short cuts
I've become taken with the high road 
No I can't reap a thing I sew
I'll build a bridge or I'll just swim it, I will
In a New York minute
