Different, Worse Versions Lyrics by Mercer Henderson
Let’s be serious for a second, you’ve got nothing left to say
But we’re driving no direction on an endless interstate
For a while, I could stand it, I just looked the other way
But if I don’t find an exit now, I swear I’ll go insane
It’s like you’re holding the knife
In a second, you could ruin my life
I’d give anything to watch you try
‘Cause you look so good, and we both know
I could kiss every stranger
I could let them in, leave them later
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you, baby
And I could spend every weekend
Going out again, chase that feeling
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you, baby
You kept your key to my apartment, I can’t bare to change the locks
Still got my clothes in your closet and a necklace I forgot
When did everything get messy, I don’t know what did I wrong
Did you mean it when you touched me, you just don’t know what you want
Yeah, I could kiss every stranger
I could let them in, leave them later
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you, baby
And I could spend every weekend
Going out again, chase that feeling
But they’re all just different, worse versions of
You know I’d change my name, I’d pack my heart
To a different state, nowhere’s too far
If we give it space, if we give it time
Would you call for me?
And if I put myself in a big white dress
With someone else, would you object?
If I spent my life living with regret
Would you follow me?
‘Cause we both know
I could kiss every stranger
I could let them in, leave them later
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you, baby
I could kiss every stranger
I could let them in, leave them later
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you, baby
And I could spend every weekend
Going out again, chase that feeling
But they’re all just different, worse versions of you baby
