Lyrics
Some nights I crawl out of my window
Sit on the cover of my house
Lay back and watch the moonlit clouds go rolling by
They are so quiet they are loud
Out on the Bay one of those barges inches by
How’s he gonna fit under that bridge?
Makes me shake loose every single peak and valley
Of all our shining streets and all our dark weird alleys
Now she’s dancing on dawn
She’s walking on water
Makes me think that I could’ve been a better man
Ripping up miles
Soaking up firelight
Shouldn’t it be different
And if somebody asked me why
Not like somebody ever did
I’d turn and look at you with mirrors in my eyes
And say some games they aren’t worth the win
Now she’s dancing on dawn
She’s walking on water
Makes me think that I could’ve been a better man
Ripping up miles
Soaking up firelight
Shouldn’t it be different
A different place a different time
Different motive, different crime
Frame of reference, frame of mind
Solo
Now she’s dancing on dawn
She’s walking on water
Makes me think that I could’ve been a better man
Ripping up miles
Soaking up firelight
Shouldn’t it be different
She’s racing the waves
She’s winning by inches
Makes me wonder I could’ve been a better man
She’s stinging like rain
She’s doling out pain
Come on and tell me shouldn’t it be different
