Rough Cut: The Only Difference
This song was written for the American Idol Songwriter contest, and wasn't selected, like most of the 25,000+ entries.
Lyrics
The friends I've made, the debts I've paid
It's more than I can take
The wannabes, the gonnabes
Impossible to fake
The path that we all travel
Is a long and winding road
If you want to make a real difference
Don't just do what you're told
The empathy, the entropy,
Without a secret shame
Irascible, responsible
Two players of the same game
The life that we're all part of
Is more precious than gold
But to hear some people complaining
It's getting old
The only difference
I'm playing the game
The only difference
Fundamentally the same
The only difference
Between a new life and the door
I wanted it more
When you're living in a dream
You never can be sure
What's the ending of the ending
An undecided blur
You have got to find out
The life you make's your own
As long as you know what to give
You'll never be alone
The only difference
I'm playing the game
The only difference
Fundamentally the same
The only difference
Between something else and the door
I wanted it more
The only difference
I'm playing the game
The only difference
Fundamentally the same
The only difference
Between a new life and the door
I wanted it more
I wanted it more
