about

A conversation with a friend inspired this track, about how two people's timelines just never lined up, she was always with someone when he was single and vice versa, and this song is a big "what if", imagine if things did line up, would they work? Or is it just meant to be that they weren't together...

lyrics

VERSE 1:
I liked who I was when I was with you
but that person’s long gone now
I don’t live the way I used to
Guess it took you a while to come back around

you know when it hits you right in the chest
can’t escape it, lost in this
you were never like the rest
you’d run away leaving me a fucking mess


PRE:
(it I fall)
If I fall you’re not far behind
(touch my skin)
Touch my skin, it all unwinds
(all unwinds)

(if it all)
It it all fell right in to place
(just let go)
I just let go, would it all change
(would it all change)

CHORUS
What if we did every stupid thing that you said
Gave you my heart and lost my head
It’d be you, that I’d have to loose
What if we ran for miles, left this place
would we even last a day
If it was you, only you

VERSE 2:
It’s strange I don’t think we ever said goodbye
Years pass but it feels like seconds
and I can never work out why
These feelings don’t fade the way I expected

PRE:
(it I fall)
If I fall you’re not far behind
(touch my skin)
Touch my skin, it all unwinds
(all unwinds)

(if it all)
It it all fell right in to place
(just let go)
I just let go, would it all change
(would it all change)

CHORUS
What if we did every stupid thing that you said
Gave you my heart and lost my head
It’d be you, that I’d have to loose
What if we ran for miles, left this place
would we even last a day
If it was you, only you

Outro:
What if we ran for miles, left this place
Would it be you, only you
Only you…
