  • Everything's different,
    My head in the clouds.

    I hit this corner,
    with my foot on the gas,
    I started sliding, I lose it.
    Everything's different.
    Just like that.

    Oh my God,
    Wait and see,
    What will soon become of me.
    Frozen heart, screaming wheels,
    Does that screaming come from me?

    So damn lucky,
    That you went on ahead.
    You say, you say
    “I'll see you later.”
    I heard what you said a few minutes later.
    I'm sliding.
    Everything's different again.

    Oh my God.
    Wait and see,
    What will soon become of me.
    Frozen hearts, screaming wheels,
    Does that screaming come from me?

    So dizzy from all this spinning.

    Now I'm thinking,
    That you did all you could,
    When you said “my love, take it slowly.”
    “Okay” is what I said.

    Oh my God.
    Wait and see,
    What will soon become of me.
    Frozen hearts, screaming wheels.
    Does that screaming come from me?

    Take Me back,
    Just before I was spinning.
    Take Me back,
    Just before I got dizzy.
    Amazing what a minute can do.
    Just like you.

    And I'm sliding sliding sliding.
    Around around around around again.
    Amazing what a minute can do.
    Around around around again.
    Okay. Writer/s: DAVE MATTHEWS, STEPHEN HARRIS

  • Jenna This song is about a near death experience and now he sees the world differently, and hes so happy and feels so lucky.
  • Bobby from Lex, KyIt's amazing how when you listen to this song you can almost see the life flying by (like a car spinning) around while you are in slow motion and a thousand thoughts are running through your mind.

    I wonder if dave wrote this song after making one of those decisions that as soon as you make it you know that "every thing's different" but it’s to late because you’re already sliding and all of the possible reproductions race though your mind.
