Song 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 on


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


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
