Mal Blum The Difference Lyrics

Come on now, Emily
You ought to know
If the place that you went
Is not where you meant to go
If it's awkward and weird
If it's hostile and cold
Or something I said
Well, I thought you were over me?
Come on down Emily
See the new me
I've been quietly writing
And counting in three
Tell me, is it too loud or too fast or obscene?
Sometimes I think
You just like to be mean
Cause you
You don't care about anything
I don't understand
Because I'm nothing like that
I am trying to discern
All my pride
From my interest
Oh, what is the difference at all!?
Oh, you moved to the city and cut off your hair
Then your confidence was like a hat you could wear
And you wore it even when nobody was there
You wore it even when nobody was there but me
Come on down, emily
See the new me
Not quite as different as you'd like it to be
Maybe I didn't take the GREs
But I know how I feel
And I know what I need
Not like you
You don't care
About anything!
You don't care
But me, I know what you're not
So I watch you with it from afar
Cause I want what I got
And you got what you want
And me, I know what you are not
Cause you, you don't care about anything
Or at least you don't show it
And I'm something like that
But I can't help but discern
All my pride
Your resistance
And there is a difference there
A difference
