What If? - Original

Опубликовано 6 сентября 2015, 17:23

This was kinda meant to be a epilogue to my song "The Mark I Missed." From the girl's perspective. Let me know what you think of this one, people!

P.S. Big thanks to my peep Jake Riley for letting me use his beautiful old guitar.

P.P.S. Also big thanks to the rainstorm for creating a thoughtful ambiance and flashing lightning every once in a while through that upper right window.

WORDS:

What if I would have chosen you,
Who would I be?
I never told you I wanted to try
something new.
I guessed you already knew.

It's midnight,
I'm struck
with a sort of memory of us
that could have been true.
But we don't mesh that way
you always say
we play different games
but I can learn the rules,
for you.

But it's too late to do anything anyway.


Can we work like that?
What a mess it would be
if anyone found out
Is it worth losing sleep?
Gaining grief?
No, it's not real.
And how would our lovers feel?

It's midnight,
I'm struck
with a sort of memory of us
that could have been true.
But we don't mesh that way
you always say
we play different games
but I can learn the rules,
for you.


I'm taken,
you're taken,
we're both mistaken,
but what if, what if?
(x4)


What if I would have chosen you?
Who would I be?
