The Difference

[Verse 1]
Slow dancin' on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the city's still dark
Sleepwalkin' 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 nothin' but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of somethin' 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

[Verse 2]
Night swimmin' in her diamond dress
Making small circles move across the surface
Stand watchin' from the steady shore
Feelin' wide open and waitin' for
Somethin' warm and tender
Now she's movin' further from you
There was nothin' that could make it easy on you
Every step you take reminds you that she's walkin' on

[Chorus]
Yeah, for all you know, this could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want

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

[Verse 3]
Day breakin' on the boulevard
Feel the sun warmin' up your second-hand heart
Light swimmin' 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

[Outro]
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
