The Difference
(Rob Thomas)
SLOW DANCING
ON THE BOULEVARD
IN THE QUIET MOMENTS
WHILE THE CITY'S STILL DARKSLEEPWALKING THROUGH THE SUMMER RAIN
IN THE TIRED SPACES
YOU COULD HEAR HER NAMEWHEN 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 LOSTAND FOR ALL YOU KNOW
THIS COULD BE
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT YOU NEED
AND WHAT YOU WANT TO BENIGHT SWIMMING
IN HER DIAMOND DRESS
MAKING SMALL CIRCLES
MOVE ACROSS THE SURFACESTAND WATCHING
FROM THE STEADY SHORE
LAYING WIDE OPEN
AND WAITING FORSOMETHING WARM AND TENDER WHILE SHE'S
MOVING FURTHER FROM YOU
THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD
MAKE IT EASY ON YOUEVERY STEP YOU TAKE REMINDS YOU
THAT SHE'S WALKING ONEVERY WORD YOU NEVER SAID
ECHOES DOWN YOUR EMPTY HALLWAY
EVERYTHING THAT WAS YOUR WORLD
JUST CAME DOWN
IT JUST CAME DOWNDAY BREAKING ON THE BOULEVARD
FEEL THE
SUN WARMING UP YOUR SECONDHAND HEART
LIGHT SWIMMING RIGHT ACROSS YOUR FACE
YOU THINK
MAYBE SOMEDAY
MAYBE SOMEDAY
