THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US
Words & Music by Richard X. Heyman, Copyright 2013

To steal one’s heart is the cruelest theft
When the fork in the road came up, you went right and I just left
I had pictured you as the perfect one
Well that picture’s flawed and it’s time to redraw
You here and me on the run

Ah, but don’t you think about us now and then?
It all depends on your definition of what you’re meaning by now and then
Ah, but I was only thinking that we’d last
Well that’s the difference between us and the way we both view the past

Happenstance you can’t estimate
As soon as it does occur, we refile it under fate
And the randomness of a found romance
Happens each and every single day
In this crazy game of chance

Ah, but I had always thought we’d share this life
I can barely find a place for myself, feels like I’m livin’ on the edge of a knife
Ah, but don’t you think we’re worth another try?
Well I think you’re worth your weight in gold and the world to some lucky guy

And geography had its role to play
But somehow it’s now been recast
And it’s taken me away

Ah, but don’t you think about us now and then?
It all depends on your definition of what you’re meaning by now and then
Ah, but I was only thinking that we’d last
Well that’s the difference between us and the way we regard the past

To steal one’s heart is the cruelest theft
