what if... (dancing alone)

What if we never met

What if you changed your mind as I walked up all those stairs

What if I hadn't stayed

What if I turned around when you reached out for my hand

Then maybe I would have left this city and moved back home

Maybe I would be afraid of growing, I would still be gone

Maybe I'd just kept my name, and I'd never write that song

Then maybe I would

Maybe I would still be dancing alone

Met you at a bar

And you told me 'bout your car

You could have died in an ambulance

Then we collided by accident

Now I'm so alone in my Airbnb

And the heat doesn't work, and the roof has a leak

You said, Sounds like a mess, you can come stay with me,

And now I don't wanna leave

What if we never met

What if you changed your mind as I walked up all those stairs

What if I hadn't stayed

What if I turned around when you reached out for my hand

Then maybe I would have left this city and moved back home

Maybe I would be afraid of growing, I would still be gone

Maybe I'd just kept my name, and I'd never write that song

Then maybe I would

Maybe I would still be dancing alone

Dancing

I'd be dancing alone

Dancing

I'd be dancing alone

Maybe we don't stay together

Maybe I don't wanna know

Maybe nothing lasts forever

And that's the way life goes

But if it makes it any better, I'd be dancing with your ghost

So I won't be dancing

Dancing alone
