[Verse 1: Goapele, Clyde Carson]
I'm looking at you from a distance
I'm wondering how all my feelings changed
Do you remember even half the shit we used to do?
How it used to be
I wish it was different
All these feelings inside me
But I still believe
(I mean what is you saying then? Damn)

[Chorus: Goapele]
That it could be different
(You know I miss the butterflies, the look in your eyes, how they would shine)
It could be different
(And now it feels like it's over, baby)
It could be different
(If you would realize that you need to set aside just a little time to...)
It could be different
(I know we can make it better, baby)

[Verse 2: Goapele]
No I can't keep living on memories
What if where this is turning
This isn't meant to be
We used to get lifted
The love we craved it so insatiably
And lately I've been missing all the little things
[Verse 3: Clyde Carson, Goapele]
Well, maybe I got comfortable with the way you were treating me
Hot meals cooked up, way you would feed me
I'm selfish, how could I let my fear defeat me?
Scared of something different, now I see you complete me
Ayy, I don't like to argue a bit
I promise I'll change if I ain't gotta hear your lip
Oh, I'm sorry, I'm saying, but you don't respect
You don't listen you're no different
(Shit, Gotdamn it)
Save your breath

[Chorus: Goapele, Clyde Carson]
That it could be different
I know you saying I should change
Throughout time I ain't the same in my ways
It could be different
(And now it feels like it's over, babe)
I see your feelings start to fade
It's all my fault, huh? Your feelings ain't the same
It could be different
(Make it different like it used to be)
Ma, why is you mad?
Acting like everything I do is bad
It could be different
(I know we can make it better, baby)
You got some issues, too, huh
Listen, it ain't nothing we can't get through
[Bridge: Goapele, Clyde Carson]
You're high I'm low and jealous
Distance seems to grab a hold
(Always sing that to me)
I miss you so and making love still feels like coming home (Yeah)
We fuss, we fight, I leave, you might
But then you make it right (We can get through it)
But still at night can't stand the sight of you not in my life

[Chorus: Goapele]
That it could be different
(You know I miss the butterflies, the look in your eyes, how they would shine)
It could be different
(And now it feels like it's over, baby)
(What you want me to do?)
That it could be different
(If you would realize that you need to set aside just a little time to..)
It could be different
I know we can make it better, baby

[Verse 4: Clyde Carson]
Lets take it back to the picnics at Tilden
Flicks with the children
Talks by the lake
Them walks through your building
The feeling of fresh love, can't dismiss this
I know that you miss it, my permanent missus
Permanent Kisses, the flirtin' and wishin'
Before all the back and forth huffin' and hissin'
Hear me and listen, I remember our mission
So I'm willing to change if you say that I'm different
[Chorus: Goapele, Clyde Carson]
That it could be different
I know you saying I should change
Throughout time I ain't the same in my ways
It could be different
(And now it feels like it's over, babe)
I see your feelings start to fade
It's all my fault, huh? Your feelings ain't the same
That it could be different
(It could be different like it used to be)
Ma, why is you mad?
Acting like everything I do is bad
It could be different
(I know we can make it better, baby)
You got some issues, too
Listen, it ain't nothing we can't get through
It could be different
(You know I miss the butterflies, the look in your eyes, how they would shine)
(I understand, I'll change)
It could be different
(And now it feels like it's over baby)
(I hear what you saying)
It could be different
(If you would realize that you need to set aside just a little time to..)
(We could get through it)
It could be different
I know we can make it better, baby

[Outro: Goapele, Speaker]
- Who was your first love or crush?
- I think Tiffany Davis. That was my first kiss. It was fifth grade and she was looking real good, everybody wanted her and she chose me
- My first major crush was this guy Benjamin
- My first crush was when I was in second grade
- I think the first intimate one was when I was fifteen
- And I was probably like seventeen
- I can remember, she was something else, she was crazy, she was fun
- And I do believe it was love at first sight
- I think I regret this one girl I used to talk to, she was real cool, and I just wasn't ready to be with her like that
- I have this joke with my brother, I'll say, "Is that love? Is that love?" Like, I don't really know what love is
- Love can, it can alter your perspective. It can alter the way you look at the sun. It can alter the way that you wake up in the morning. But still it could...
