What Would've Been

Blue light, mulling it over
Praying for four-leaf clovers
You were talking, talking to me
While I flipped through some other scene

But I liked how light spilled onto your side
And how good it felt when it all went just right
But life picks you up
Throws you into a new tide, aah, ah-oh

But I still play back the days
Just to hear what you’d say
Unwind threads at the seam
Of what would’ve been

Yeah, I know it happens fast
His whole life changed, man
No way y’all could have seen it coming
She said he held on the best he can
I know he did
But I never knew I could miss something so bad

But I never found what I wanted, still now
I wanna be good and I want it right now
And those little moments’ll mean something somehow, aah, ah-oh

I still play back the days
Just to hear what you’d say
Unwind threads at the seam
Of what would’ve been

But I still play back the days
(Yeah, I know it happens fast)
(His whole life changed, man)
Just to hear what you’d say
(No way y’all could have seen it coming)
Unwind threads at the seam
(She said he held on the best he can)
(I know he did)
Of what would’ve been
(But I never knew I could miss something so bad)
