Thanks for the info about "The Only Difference." This song is awesome live, and one of the best on the album. BTW, if you turn it up a bit and play it on decent speakers, you can hear a low voice saying "Fall asleep, fall asleep."
Anyways, it sounds like the singer liked the popular girl at school his whole life, but he wasnt in her crowd (just an outsider). As life continued, he still felt like he was alway a step behind the cool people. He tried to convince himself that the shiny-happy people are just putting up a facade, and eventually comes to know it's true. So when his dream-girl has gotten older and faded, she notices him finally. Except he has lost interest or given up, resorting to drugs to console him. The last line "The only difference is what might be is now" is open to interpretation....
