[Verse 1]
Forgive me, it's my fault, I should have figured this
I said what's on my mind and now you're leaving pissed
Tonight's slipped through our fingers but don't dismiss me that way

[Verse 2]
It seems I've done some damage 'cause you're holding a grudge
We're not seeing eye to eye and there's no jury to judge
The claws are never out and you're just drawing blood, let it be

[Chorus]
Let's just play it by ear
There's no surefire way this should go
Play it by ear
If you love me, then let me know

[Verse 3]
I dreamed of you last night, the summer we first met
Your hair was long, your skin was smooth, I'll never forget
And I woke up smiling in the crook of your neck happily

[Verse 4]
And I wake up from that dream, I love you more every day
Sometimes I fuck it up with all the shit that I say
Tonight's slipped through our fingers but don't dismiss me that way
[Chorus]
Let's just play it by ear
There's no surefire way this should go
Play it by ear
If you love me, then let me know
If you love me, let it go

[Bridge]
I'm guessing you don't mean what you said
I know I sure as hell don't
I'm betting if you take a deep breath
If we try to work this out, we could make a later movie

[Verse 5]
Forgive me, it's my fault, I should have figured this
I said what's on my mind and now you're leaving pissed
Tonight's slipped through our fingers but don't dismiss me that way

[Verse 6]
And I wake up from that dream, I love you more every day
Sometimes we fuck it up with all the shit that we say
Tonight's slipped through our fingers but don't dismiss me that way

[Chorus]
Let's just play it by ear
There's no surefire way this should go
Play it by ear
If you love me, then let me know
Play it by ear
We'll make up how we want it to go
Play it by ear
If you love me, let me know
If you love me, let it go
If you love me honey, let me show
If you love me, let it go
