Different Story

I have lived and died

so many times

It's a wonder I remember

The contours of my own body

And the shape of my own name

I have been who I thought I was

And who I thought I'd be

It's wonder I recall it

Now that you're gone

I lay my head different

Wondering where you are

I have been wrong

I have been right

I've been wrong again

I watch the robin wonder whether to fly into the rain

As long as I'm alive I get to start again

Leave but leave nothing undone and fly away

I'm burning my candle at both ends

Since we turned from lovers into friends

I have sinned and lied

So many times

It's the reason for my fever

I have feared and tried

Despite the feelings in my flesh

I have been wrong

I have been right

I've been wrong again

I watch the robin wonder whether to fly into the rain

As long as I'm alive I get to start again

Leave but leave nothing undone and fly away

I'm burning my candle at both ends

Since we turned from lovers into friends
