The Difference - Matchbox Twenty

Lyrics:

Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the city's 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 part of something 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 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

[Chorus]

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

@Barclay1987 The refusal to adjust to a band's changing style of music is a refusal to change. To suggest that MB20's music is not as beautiful as it always was is a complete insult to them.

@Barclay1987 Out with the old, in with the new! I love Matchbox Twenty and Rob Thomas' music no matter what!

[jedikight222]

@Barclay1987 dude thats a total insult, most if not all songs were wrote by Rob Thomas, and just because Adam was in it doesnt mean we stopped loving the band thats just you and the old matchbox twenty diddnt go anywhere just because one person decides to leave the band

[jedikight222]

the other songs tittle is So Sad So lonely

When my brothers girlfriend broke up with him, he cried for a week while listening to this song on repeat...

[MarshmallowCrate]

@duhwinningism technically its eight minutes long on the CD and is broken into two different songs. you realize that right? the second song starts at 4:15, Don't Want Nobody I believe is the title of the second 1/2 of the track but I could be wrong about the title. however, definitely two different songs. Just to be helpful

@Barclay1987 I'm fairly sure that Rob Thomas is doing his own thing now.

[Barclay1987]

@pseudogenesis Well, if they could find a way to get Adam Gaynor back to the band.

[pseudogenesis]

@Barclay1987 And here they are.

[Barclay1987]

@pseudogenesis I just wish that we have our Old Matchbox Twenty back!
