Hypothetically

Hypothetically if I were to write a love song I'd write about the color of your eyes How they still take me by surprise Hypothetically if I were to write a love song I'd write about the length of your hair How I find them in the clothes I used to wear But this is not a love song And I'm not going to write one But if I did I'd try to convey that in a hundred thousand years No matter what I say Or what you hear I will love you And that on the day you die I wanna be right there by your side But just like contemplating your eventual death This is all just a thought experiment 'Cause what if something goes wrong What if For whatever reason We fall out of love Then what would this song even be A poorly framed shot of a moment in history And I'll have signed up to watch someone die That I'm not sure I wanna watch die But love is powerful and what makes life tolerable I hope someday I manage to change my mind Hypothetically obviously They're not gonna change their mind I'm not gonna change my mind Hypothetically if I were to write a love song It would probably end up sounding a lot like this one So don't quote me on this In however much time When whoever comes along But this is not a love song And I'm not going to write one
