Different World

Intro

​[Verse 1]

Woke up late and the sun actually looks quite nice

I didn't have to think about your unsolicited advice

The coffee tastes better, the air is finally clear

Now that your heavy shadow is nowhere near

I used to think the silence was a lonely sound

But man, it’s golden now that you’re not around

I even cancelled that magazine you always made me read

Turns out, freedom is the only thing I really need

​[Verse 2]

I took a walk down the street where we used to fight

And honestly? I’ve never felt so light

No more walking on eggshells, no more drama in the hall

I’m rediscovering the beauty of it all

It’s like the colors in the park just got a brand new glow

Funny how much I grew once I let you go

I’m wearing that shirt you hated, the one with all the flair

And for the first time in years, I really just don't care

​[Chorus]

It’s a different world since you walked out the door (Uhhhh...)

And I’m not missing the version of me I was before (Uhhhh...)

Everything’s swinging, everything’s finally in tune

I’m over the clouds and I’m dancing past the moon

Yeah, the view is great from this side of the line

In this different world where I’m doing just fine (Uhhhh...)

​[Verse 3]

My friends keep asking if I’m okay or if I’m just faking

But they don't see the giant steps that I’ve been taking

I’m booking trips to places you said were "too far"

I’m singing loud and off-key in the middle of my car

There’s no more 'we', and God, it feels so damn good

To finally be the person that I always knew I should

​[Bridge]

You thought I’d be broken, you thought I’d be lost

But freedom is worth every single cent it cost

I’m breathing easy, I’m living for the thrill

While you’re just a ghost standing perfectly still!

You’re looking for a reaction, a tear, or a sign

But baby, you’re just a footnote in this story of mine!

​[Extended Piano & Brass Solo]

Chorus

It’s a different world since you walked out the door (Uhhhh...)

And I’m not missing the version of me I was before (Uhhhh...)

Everything’s swinging, everything’s finally in tune

I’m over the clouds and I’m dancing past the moon

Yeah, the view is great from this side of the line

In this different world where I’m doing just fine (Uhhhh...)

​[Outro]

Doing just fine

I’m doing better than fine, actually

In my own little world

And it’s beautiful, you know?

It’s a brand new world

(Uhhhh...)

Yeah, it’s a different world

(Uhhhh...)
