What if we just met

We started back at the first text

When you were too shy to talk to me so freely

Before you knew me completely

And what if we left it

Stayed friends and never addressed it

And what if your mum walked in before you kissed me

It would have ended before we had history

The stars aligned

But it wasn't quite right

Now I could call you but I can't call you mine

And I could have loved you so much better this time

If we knew what we were giving up

We would have waited and missed the signs

'Cause if it were ten years down the line

You'd be the right person right time

Remember those days when

We'd joke about how we'd moved in

But now we're moving on

I lost a best friend, lost your mum, I lost everything

The stars aligned

But it wasn't quite right

The tears I've cried

Won't pay to get you back in my life

Now I could call you but I can't call you mine

And I could have loved you so much better this time

If we knew what we were giving up

We would have waited and missed the signs

'Cause if it were ten years down the line

You'd be the right person right time

What if I shut my mouth

What if you didn't make me cry in the driveway

And what if you choked it down

I'd listen when you talk and I'd only say I'm sorry

Maybe we were better off

We're you everything and I didn't know it

I'm spiraling out, I'm spiraling out

On these what ifs, on these what ifs

Now I could call you but I can't call you mine

And I could have loved you so much better this time

If we knew what we were giving up

We would have waited and missed the signs

'Cause if it were ten years down the line

You'd be the right person right time
