MATCHBOX 20 - The Difference lyrics

rate me

Slow dancing on the boulevard

In the quiet moments while the citys 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[break]

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I found out

On a late-night drive

In my winter coat

With my bloodshot eyes

And my faith ain't been

No friend to me

And the way I sin

Is hanging off of me

And I'm sorry

It 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 backup plan

Said, I don't want nobody

Nobody don't want me

And I'm so sad so lonely

And I'm always landing on my feet

One more time

With a sad, sad smile

And your white-breath friends

In the circus life

All the one-way rides

And those sweet beginnings

Passing on the left-hand side

With a sideways smile

And I'm always

One step from stalling

By those trips they make

Baby, dance all night

With your ass on fire

And your hands up high

And feel me one more time

Said, I don't want nobody

Nobody don't want me

And I'm so sad so lonely

And I'm always landing on my feet

Well, I learn to love myself

And I don't need no one else

And when the love moves on

'Cause it gets cold

And another moves in

And it could fill the hole

And I'm one more hopeful

Lying on the bedroom floor

No sense trying

When the whole thing drops

You lose your nerve

I hope you get what you deserve

Said, I don't want nobody

Nobody don't want me

And I'm so sad so lonely

And I'm always landing on my feet

And I don't want nobody

Nobody don't want me

And I'm so sad so lonely

And I'm always landing on my feet

Hey! Hey! Hey!
