We've seen some change
But we're still outsiders
If everybody's here
Then hell knows
We ride alone

I've seen some years
But you're still my Caesar
With everything I feel
I feel you've already been here

The only difference is all I see is now all that I've seen

It's bright on the outside
The bright love, the dark side
I know

It's obvious but sometimes
You just have to say it so
You don't feel so weak
About being such a freak
Or alone

In seventeen years
Will you still be Camille
Lee Miller, Gala or whatever
You know what I mean, yeah

Love'll die
Lovers fade
But you still remain there
Squeezing in your fingers
What it means for me to be, yeah

The only difference is what might be is now what might have been

When you saw me sleeping
You thought I was dreaming of you
No, I didn't tell you
That the only dream
Is Valium for me

I've seen some years
But you're still my Caesar
With everything I feel
I feel you've already been here

Love'll die
Lovers fade
But you still remain here
Squeezing in your fingers
What it means for me to be, yeah

The only difference
Is what might be is now

    There is indeed a faint voice that goes "Fall asleep" or "Peace and love" depending on your inclination.

    Just a side note... this song is two mashed into one. The aforementioned "The Only Difference," and one composed by Nick that no one's heard.
