The Difference

Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the citys still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain and 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 a 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
Yeah, what you want to 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 wrong

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 want to be
Girl, what you want to be


this was one of the two songs like Melissa L (shedevil666) used in the last chapter of her fic "Chaos" (I think... ) lol. the other song is White Flag by Dido. and ever since I read that fic, even if I hardly remember it, I have really deeply loved these two songs. it's about time I agknowledged that :)

<3 to fanfics, the amazing people who write them, and the amazing people who read them
