"It's Different Now" lyrics

You understand my hesitation
Why I get quiet sometimes
All the ways I've been conditioned
What I think is real, you redesign
It's how you catch me every time

I rewind our conversations
Listen between every line
To relieve my superstition
I only reveal
It's only a sign
That it all adds up this time

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now

I don't need special attention
Just as long as you are mine
Then there's no reason to mention
What came before
The who or the why
Cause it all adds up this time

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now

Didn't mean to push away
Make you think I'm so insane
It isn't gonna haunt me no more (anymore, anymore)
Stay forever and a day
You'll never have to ask again, no way
Cause I can say

I've been holding my hopes waist-high
So they don't tumble down
And keep me yesterday-bound
I've been holding my breath
Cause I don't want to be let down
But we're too far for that now
So I'm saying it out loud
It's different now (now)
