Lyrics
The Only Difference
Don't it break your heart?
The way it stops and starts?
The way it's off and on,
Like dusk consumes the dawn?
Chorus
The only difference between
Good and bad
Is what you make out of what
Makes you sad.
It's not as if we tried
When we hitched this ride
To ever come so far,
Tangled on a star.
Chorus
The only difference between
You and I
Is what we write between the
Dates born and died.
Bridge
Sometimes I notice
That we're turning round and
Time's the only difference between
Up and down and
Time is round so
Don't look down on me.
Chorus
The only difference between
Good and bad
Is what you make out of what
Makes you sad.
