[Intro] Same number ... Why's it feel different now? [Verse 1] Nothing moved that much Same screen Same room Same little line I would've laughed at yesterday But tonight my hand feels different Funny The number didn't change ... I did [Pre-Chorus] There you are Soft at first Making everything cost more [Chorus 1] Emotion changes the price Same thing Different night What looked small when I was steady Feels enormous when I'm not Nothing changed on that screen But something changed behind my eyes Maybe the number is the number Maybe emotion changes the price [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Fear says get out Greed says not yet Pride says you were right So prove it Funny how they all sound like me when they want my hands [Pre-Chorus] There you are again A little louder Making one decision feel like five [Chorus 2] Emotion changes the price Turns enough into not quite Makes a loss feel like a verdict Makes a win feel like a sign The screen still says what it says But now I know who's adding weight Maybe emotion doesn't change the number Maybe it changes what I'll pay [Long Instrumental] [Verse 3] So now when my chest starts talking I listen Not to obey it Just to know who walked into the room Fear can sit there Greed can stay Pride can have its little opinion ... None of them get my hands [Bridge] Oh That's what you've been doing You weren't changing the market You were changing me Making waiting feel expensive Making leaving feel like loss Making one more feel like nothing Till one more costs it all ... No I know your voice now [Instrumental Expansion] [Final Chorus] Emotion has a price Now I feel it when it rises I don't have to make it wrong I don't have to make it right I can feel the whole thing moving And leave my hands where they are The number can stay the number I don't have to pay whatever emotion asks [Extended Instrumental] [Outro] Same screen Same number ... Different hands Good
