Lyrics:
She’s independent and beautiful
Wish I could be like her
She’s got the girls and the boys
So wrapped around her finger
Rumor is, she’s some kind of dream
Nobody knows she cries herself to sleep
We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me
We
He’s on the top of the social scene
He’s stylish, cool and clever
He’s gotta cool attitude that screams
He’s got it all together
You’d think he’s addicted to himself
But he wishes he could be someone else
Gotta come together
You know you never ever have to be alone
You gotta hand to hold

Behind the Song:
'I initially started writing a song called “She,” about a friend who was feeling down on herself, and I brought it to Ian
Eskelin and said, “This is really sounding a bit forlorn and I really had wanted it to be more encouraging.” So we
started talking about it and looking at what was really the issue. It’s the desire to be known. It’s a desire we have to
be understood. This song is really about how we are not that different from each other. We just want somebody to
discover who we really are when we drop our guard. And that love is going to start with you and me. In order to
really get to know somebody we have to drop our guard. We have to realize that the person standing next to us is
the same as us – it’s just a different story.' - Joy Williams
