Not So Different
Eva Avila Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somethin' bout you and me
Living life dangerously
I'm from here, you're from there
But I don't even really care
My friends say I'm crazy
I'm just not your type
But love is many colours
It's not black or white

[Chorus:]
We're not so different
I want you and you want me
That's something what we agree
No different
You got plans - I understand
I'm following my own dream
No different
I get you and you get me
And that means that everything
Who's to say we gotta change
Who's to say we're not the same
We're not so different
We're not so different

When you vibe next to me
I wanna live fearlessly
You know things that I don't know
Teach me how to let go
I'm not scared to find a-bout your everything
The more I care to see
The more I'm sure you're for me

[Chorus:]
We're not so different
I want you and you want me
That's something what we agree
No different
You got plans - I understand
I'm following my own dream
No different
I get you and you get me
And that means that everything
Who's to say we gotta change
Who's to say we're not the same

I'm gonna improvise

[Chorus:]
We're not so different
I want you and you want me
That's something what we agree
No different
You got plans - I understand
I'm following my own dream
No different
I get you and you get me
And that means that everything
Who's to say we gotta change
Who's to say we're not the same

[Chorus:]
We're not so different
I want you and you want me
That's something what we agree
No different
You got plans - I understand
I'm following my own dream
No different
I get you and you get me
And that means that everything
Who's to say we gotta change
Who's to say we're not the same
We're not so different
We're not so different

I'm gonna improvise
