Matchbox Twenty - 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
