The Difference - Intellectual

[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

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 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

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 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

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
