What If
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a bit of a mess
You're a little too neat
You'll just be hitting snooze as I get to sleep
But everything, ends up working out
Looking in it must seem like a train wreck I'm sure
Our strengths, just compliment what the other lacks
I can't imagine if you weren't around
Where I world've ended up now
What if I'd walked, some other way
What if you'd left a little late
Would I still, be sitting next to you today
What if we talked, and I was too shy
To ask you to stay with me awhile
Would I have not known the best thing in my life
Had passed me by
I'm a bit too relaxed
You're a little uptight
You keep me on my toes, I help you unwind
And in time we learn from our mistakes
Feel like all of theses years I'd spent waiting for you
Just kind of getting through, till you came along
But still I wonder if you weren't around
Where I would've ended up now
And without warning life can turn around and
Suddenly
You'll be faced with a now or never opportunity
But in a seconds time
It could all go by
What if I turned just as you passed
What if it ended at a glance
If I just looked in your eyes would I have known
