"The Difference" Lyrics

Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments, while the city's still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain
In the tired spaces you could hear her name
When she was warm and tender and you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection, she was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost

(chorus)
And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you wanna be
Yeah, what you wanna be

Night swimming in her diamond dress
Making small circles move across the surface
Stand watching from the steady shore, feeling wide open and waiting for
Something warm and tender, now she's moving further from you
There was nothing that could make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you that she's walking on

Yeah, for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want...

Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down

Day breaking on the boulevard
Feel the sun warming up your second-hand heart
Light swimming right across your face
And you think, maybe someday, yeah
Maybe someday

For all you know
Yeah, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want...

Yeah, for all you know
For all you know
Yeah, for all that you know
This is what you wanna be
Girl, what you wanna be

*long pause*

HEY

I've found out on a late night drive
In my winter coat and my blood-shot eyes
on my bay think been
no friend in me
and the way i sin is hanging over me

and i'm sorry you can't take me anywhere
pretty soon we're almost there
baby one more night
it's been a long long drive
and i'm way way tired
i don't need no back-up plan

i said i don't want no boddddy
no body don't want me
hell i'm so sad so lonnnely
and i'm always landin' on my feet

one more time with a sad sad smile
and your white breath fresh in the circus life
oh the one way rides
and the sweet beginners passing on the left-hand side
with a sideways smile

and i'm always one step from start-up
bad trips can make us start
well dance all night
well ass on fire
and your hands up high
and feel me one more time

i said i don't want no bodddy
no body don't want me
hell i'm so sad so lonnnely
that i'm always landin' on my feet

well i learned to love myself
and i don't need no one else
when love moves on cause it gets cold
well the love moves in and it can fill the hole
well i'm one more hopeful lyin'
on the bedroom florr no sense tryin'
when the whole thing drops you lose your nerve
i hope you get what you deserve

i said i don't want no bodddy
no body don't want me
hell i'm so sad so lonnnely
and i'm always landin' on my feet

hell i don't want no bodddy
no body don't want me
hell i'm so sad so lonnnely
that i'm always landin' on my feet

hey
hey
hey
HEY
