It's warm outsideBut I can hear the snowFalling on my windowI had to go awayTo somewhere deeper downI know it's my mistakeTo take off out of this townAnd June becomes July This road's on fireAnd my train's running slowIt rains against my windowI had to get awayTo somewhere no-one knowsI know it's my mistakeTo take off now in this wayAnd June becomes July The air is thinWhen you're above the cloudsI see them from my windowIt's strange to get away nowTo somewhere no-one goesI know it's my mistakeBut I don't even know nowAnd June becomes JulyAnd June becomes July

You are the one you makes a differenceBut I am the one who makes the wavesAll down the line this makes us differentSo all our dreams may stay awake You know sometimes things get so strangeAnd all we do may go astrayWrapped in your youth these things won't harm youAnd they don't hit you like a train Say, won't you see herI heard she's waiting at your doorOh I hope you won't keep near herI know she's bound to want it all She's uncommon, she has one faceAnd her heart beats to your tuneWhen she speaks, she speaks of only your nameThen she repeats it like a fool Hey you can't say you don't want herYou know you let her through your wallOh I hope you don't keep near herI know she's bound to want it all You are the one you makes a differenceBut I am the one who makes the wavesAll down the line this makes us differentSo all our dreams may stay awake

I'm going away to see my ownAnd tread my earthI've got no ordinary gainBy to set my worthI get enough but I get too lateAnd if I fall down on the roadThen I won't get grazed I cannot let you take my timeOr till my earthYou've had enough of life to seeThat it shakes my nerveAll of these things I can't get straightAnd if I'm falling to the roadThen I won't get grazed I've had two of them or threeAnd I just get hurtI watch me crawling down the roadTrying to guess my worthI know not what I'm trying to sayBut if I'm falling on this roadThen I won't get grazed I watch you running down the roadSo I get mine worked outBut you watch me falling on the runAnd you have me called outAll of these things they get so strangeJust kill me falling on the roadBut I won't get grazedJust kill me falling on the roadBut I won't get grazed...
