When I Go Lyrics - Over The Rhine

It makes a difference 

When you walk through a room 

With that worrisome smile 

Road weary perfume 

But this isn't the place 

And it isn't the time 

For this beautiful delusion 

That is robbing me blind 

I want to know 

I want to know 

Will it make a difference 

When I go 

It makes a difference 

That I'm feeling this way 

With plenty to think about 

And so little to say 

Except for this confession 

That is poised on my lips 

I'm not letting go of God 

I'm just losing my grip 

I want to know 

I want to know 

Will it keep you guessing 

When I go 

What is a love 

If the love's not my own 

This is not my home 

This is lonely 

But never alone 

I just want to hold you 

In my gaze for awhile 

So I can remember 

Every line around your smile 

Then I want to know 

I want to know 

Will it make a difference 

When I go
