Discover the story of the song > The Difference – The Wallflowers

The lyrics describe two boys by the river, telling riddles in the dark. One of them recalls a story about his friend trying to kiss his big sister. The song then switches to another boy who lives in a tower with his jealous girlfriend. The chorus repeats that the only difference the protagonist sees in people is that they are the same as they used to be. The bridge mentions how the protagonist's romantic partner always claimed to need more, but actually had more than anyone else.
