Lyrics
You keep your cards to your chest and I lay mine out
You are secretive about your intentions, while I am open and transparent.
You like to weigh the odds, I like to play em' out
You prefer to calculate risks, whereas I prefer to take risks without overthinking.
Oh you hold the weight of the world on your shoulders
You bear the burdens of the world, carrying heavy responsibilities.
I'm inclined to see past the boulders
I tend to look beyond obstacles and challenges.
Oh we've got different ways
We approach life differently.
Yeah we've got different ways
Our ways of living and thinking diverge.
You haven't cried in years, I could cry everyday
You rarely show vulnerability, while I am more emotional and expressive.
You were the cool kid and baby I was the prey
You were popular and confident, and I was more vulnerable and susceptible.
You see the intricacies in all things
You notice the details in everything.
I see the totalities like a piece of art
I appreciate the overall beauty, like admiring a piece of art.
We've got different ways
Our approaches or perspectives in life are distinct.
Yeah we've got different ways
Our lifestyles and attitudes are different.
I'm always scared that you'll fly south
I fear that you might distance yourself emotionally.
I've got a big mouth
I tend to speak openly and without reservation.
I'm always scared that you'll fly south
There's a recurring concern about emotional distance.
I've got a big mouth
I'm outspoken and expressive.
I'm always scared that you'll fly south
A continuing worry about emotional separation.
I've got a big mouth
I tend to be outspoken and forthright.
I'm always scared that you'll fly south
Repeated fear of emotional detachment.
I've got a big mouth
I tend to be outspoken and expressive.
Yeah we've got different ways
Reiteration that our ways of living and thinking are different.
Yeah we've got different ways
Highlighting the divergence in our lifestyles and attitudes.
Yeah baby, oh baby
An expression emphasizing our differences.
We've got different ways
Reiteration of the theme that our ways are distinct.
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Emphasizing the uniqueness of our paths.
We've got different ways
Reiteration of the idea that our approaches to life are different.
Oh baby, yeah baby
Reaffirming the presence of differences in our lifestyles.
We've got different ways
Final reinforcement that we have distinct ways of living and thinking.
