The Difference

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 Pulled 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 And for all you know This could be The difference between what you need And what you want to be Night swimming In her diamond dress Making small circles Move across the surface Stand watching From the steady shore Laying wide open And waiting for Something warm and tender while 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 And for all you know This could be The difference between what you need And what you want to be Every word you never said Echoes down your empty hallway Everything that was your world Just came down It just came down Day break on the boulevard Feel the Sun warming up your secondhand heart Light swimming right across your face You think Maybe someday Maybe someday And for all you know This could be The difference between what you need And what you want to be --- The Difference - Matchbox Twenty
