lyrics

So, what are we doing now?
Double checking all accounts
Both withdrawn and seeing in the red?

What if we'd never met?
You'd probably still smoke cigarettes,
Keep a list of all your regrets, and I'd probably wish I was one.

What if, oh never mind
I'll save it for another time
When answers aren't so close at hand and questions are just that. 
 


Now, I know we both agreed it was best
And I don't think I mean to suggest,
But, do you think you could hold me one more time?

What if it were spring again?
Front porch with a storm rolling in
Would we let all these things out cry the rain?

What if, no I better not ask
I guess it's just to great a task
And we've both got enough work to do on our own 
 


Now, I was out walking late last night,
They stopped and said "hey, are you alright?"
“never better” I told them, “never knew her” I thought

Maybe the best we can do
Is conversations at a quarter past two
Pockets of nothing and open spaces of love

But, what if? No, forget about that
You really don't need to react
I don’t mean to suggest things I don't understand
