A Different Story
Deadeye Dick Lyrics

As if you turned around, or disconcerting sound, replaces silence
A sudden interruption in the quietness and stability of life can be unsettling and change the course of events.

And if you wonder why I wouldn't try to rhyme, my past with yours
I cannot connect our past experiences and emotions because they are vastly different and cannot be reconciled with one another.

But then you turn your eyes away
You avoid looking at me because you realize that our differences are too vast for us to fully understand one another.

And when it's sleepy-time, the list is so sublime, I have to choose
When it's time to rest and reflect, the options for what to do with our time and emotional energy are vast and need to be selected carefully.

The story's long enough and with the proper touch, How can I lose?
With the right approach and focus, any story can be told effectively and capture the audience's attention.

But then you turn your ears away
You can't listen to my story because it is not relatable to you due to our different life experiences and emotions.

And then you inch right in, but nothing you have is for me
You try to get closer to me, but there is no common ground or emotional connection between us, making it impossible to form a bond.

'Cause when we are skin to skin, A piece of your heart for mine, well, that's a different story
However, when we become physically intimate, we can bridge the gap between our emotional differences and find common ground through the vulnerability of shared touch.

And when you want to try, I wouldn't tell you why, or whatever for
You want to understand my perspective, but there is no clear reason for why I am the way I am or why I feel the way I feel.

You needn't even ask why I'm not quite up to task for your revival
You do not need to attempt to revive or change me, as our differences will always remain and prevent any meaningful connection.

So then I turn my heart away
I cannot allow myself to be vulnerable and open to connection, as our differences are too vast and any attempt at connection will ultimately fail.

And when I say goodbye, I won't shed a tear
When we inevitably part ways due to our emotional differences, I will not cry or mourn our failed connection as it was never truly possible.

I'm mad about you, but try? Well, that's a different story
I have an emotional attachment to you, but trying to make a meaningful connection with such vast emotional differences is a futile effort.

Well, that's a different story, well, that's a different story
The emotional seeds of our possibility for connection were sown through shared physical intimacy, but our differences will ultimately prevent any meaningful bond from forming.
