What If (feat. Side Project)

White rectangle with the black dots

Would you line them up in that spot

A lily pad shifts in a pond

The ripple is unsure of how to respond

Cause and effect put simply

Just how it is like gravity

In a parallel reality

You wouldn't move away from me and us and what still could be

And what if he'd said yes

And had a closer address

And what if I stayed home

Would my heart be in a mess

Then maybe a brown hoodie

Would not mean something to me

But what are my what ifs

Except false imagination

His golden complexion

And my fractured recollection

What I see are what ifs

Pieces of stories different

A river flows downstream it goes

But it changes where people grow

A butterfly gets torn down

The whole world stops going around

Cause and effect put simply

Just how it is like gravity

In a parallel reality

You wouldn't move away from me

And us and what still could be

And what if he'd said yes

And had a closer address

And what if I stayed home

Would my heart be in a mess

Then maybe a brown hoodie

Would not mean something to me

But what are my what ifs

Except false imagination

His golden complexion

And my fractured recollection

What I see are what ifs

Pieces of stories different

Is it free will

Was it planned out

Is it open fields or one route

Were the five people on Hunger

Part of my destined failure

If I never saw or waited

Pretty novels be unpainted

Different chorus change the verses

My spirit would hate the garden

And what if he'd said yes

And had a closer address

And what if I stayed home

Would my heart be in a mess

Then maybe a brown hoodie

Would not mean something to me

But what are my what ifs

Except false imagination

His golden complexion

And my fractured recollection

What I see are what ifs

Pieces of stories different
