Different
Joshua Bassett Lyrics

Darling, how I missed you
Expressing how much he missed his lover after two years of not being friends.

Two years, not even friends
Not having any communication or interaction whatsoever for two years.

And I'm trying not to kiss you
Resisting the urge to kiss his lover despite being back in each other's arms.

'Cause we've seen how this can end
Being wary of how their relationship can potentially end based on past experience.

And my therapist would kill me
Aware of the potential consequences of his actions that may affect his mental health.

If she knew that I was here
Keeping his current situation with his ex-lover a secret from his therapist.

But no one knows me like you know me, dear
Highlighting the strong connection and intimacy between him and his former partner.

And no one holds me how you hold me, dear
Feeling a unique comfort and affection from his ex-lover that he hasn't felt with anyone else.

Now we've been to hell and back again
Having gone through a difficult and tumultuous time in their past relationship.

My biggest regret was walking away
Feeling remorse over leaving his ex-lover in the past and wanting to make amends.

I'm not gonna make the same mistake
Determined to avoid repeating the same mistake of leaving again.

I know you're afraid we'll end up the same
Acknowledging his ex-lover's fear of their relationship failing in the same way as before.

And the truth is, we might, but if we do this thing right
Recognizing the possibility of their relationship not working out, but hoping that they can make it work this time around.

Maybe this time, it'll be different
Expressing hope that their relationship will be different from their past failed attempt.

Now I'm late to catch a red-eye
In a rush to catch a flight and leave his ex-lover behind once again.

I didn't think we'd end up here
Surprised at the turn of events that led to him reuniting with his ex-lover.

Yeah, I'm already on cloud nine
Feeling euphoric and elated about being back with his lover.

Don't wanna head back down the stairs
Reluctant to leave the blissful feeling of being with his ex-lover again.

And I didn't think you'd kiss me
Surprised by his ex-lover's affections towards him, despite being apprehensive earlier.

But I'm too in love to care
Overwhelmed by his love for his ex-lover and disregarding any concerns or fears.

Make me yours and I'm not leaving
Committed to staying with his ex-lover and being fully invested in the relationship.

I know for sure you're all I needed
Realizing and acknowledging that his ex-lover is the only one he needs and wants in his life.

I can't believe I didn't see it
Regretting not recognizing the significance of his former partner until now.

We took our time with space we needed
Having taken time and space to work on themselves before rekindling their relationship.

Maybe this time, it'll be different, different
Reiterating his hope that a second chance with his ex-lover will lead to a new and better relationship.
