lyrics

VERSE 1:
I heard the story several different ways
Pour me another version, standard deviation
Get the story straight
I'll try to keep up to date

CHORUS:
Call me at some ungodly hour
You need my undivided attention
A staunch wing-man for your mission
We can split the difference
Down the middle path if the aftermath
Doesn't rattle and scare you into confessing

VERSE 2:
Each chapter takes me by complete surprise
I'm all ears, I promise not to cover my eyes
I'll adhere to the alibis
Just give me the green light


CHORUS:
I'll meet you sunshine or rainshowers
Take the stand as your star witness
Please the fifth and beg for forgiveness
We can split the difference
Down the middle path if the aftermath
Doesn't rattle and scare you in confessing

VERSE 3:
Word will spread from borough to borough
And it won't be easy to swallow
But I'll have peace when my head hits the pillow
You're own whistle and I know

CHORUS:
You'd return the favor in an instant
And we can split the difference
We can split the difference
The Difference
Down the middle path if the aftermath
Doesn't rattle and scare me in confessing
