Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments
While the city's still dark

Sleepwalking through the summer rain
In the tired spaces
You could hear her name

When she was warm and tender
And you pulled 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 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
While 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 on

And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want to be

Every word you never said
Echoes down your empty hallway
And everything that was your world
Just came down
It just came down

Day break 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..."

And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you want to be

Yeah, this is all you want to be
Girl, what you want to be...
