Name: The Only Difference (Can You Hear Me Clap?)
Duration: P00H04M45S
Description: This is the same performance as the non-handclap version. I think Pete and Greg's groove is absolutely killer, but I couldn't get the idea of the handclaps out of my head (or the swelling guitar part) so we figured, "Why not provide both versions?"

lyrics

The only difference between death and sleep
is that I get to wake up with you,
and I’ll do anything
to keep this dream coming true.
But the world’s a trap that we can’t crack
and it’ll consume us without remorse.
So I keep your hand in mine
as we try to stay the course.

The tide will come and it will carry me out
but it won’t hear me as I plead and shout.
But if you’re with me as it drags me down,
safe in our bed, I won’t make a sound.
