Verse 1
I used to sing it just to sing along
Windows down, radio on
Didn’t know what it was talkin’ ’bout
Just liked the way it sounded real loud
Back then it was just words and time
I was Rhymin’ love with a good line
I thought I felt it, I thought I knew
But I didn’t then — not like I do
⸻
Chorus
I used to hear it, now I feel it
That’s the difference, that’s the truth
It was just a song ’til someone
Went and made me live it too
Funny how a melody can change its tone
Once you’ve loved like that before
Yeah, the song’s the same
But I’m not anymore
Verse 2
I hear it now and I can see
Every fight up at every 2 a.m.
Every time love felt like fire
Burnin’ hot but wearin’ thin
Now a quiet kind of love comes on
And I know I should let it in
But this song still pulls me back
To the way it hit back then
Chorus
I used to hear it, now I feel it
That’s the difference, that’s the truth
It was just a song ’til someone
Went and made me live it too
Funny how a melody can change its tone
Once you’ve loved like that before
Yeah, the song’s the same
But I’m not anymore
⸻
Bridge
Now it plays when things are calm
And I don’t know what to do
’Cause I learned love at its loudest
From the way it sounded with you
So when it comes on I go quiet
I Let it say what I won’t say
’Cause some songs just don’t hit the same
Once they’ve hit that way
⸻
Outro
So I let it play, don’t sing along
Just listen from where I am
Funny how a three-minute song
Can still shake who I am
Final chorus
I used to hear it, now I feel it
That’s the difference, that’s the truth
It was just a song ’til someone
Went and made me live it too
Funny how a melody can change its tone
Once you’ve loved like that before
Yeah, the song’s the same
But I’m not anymore
I’m not anymore
