“What If” Lyrics
I’ve heard ‘em say before to live just like you’re dying yeah
Wish I could say that’s how I am but I’d be lying yeah
And lying in my bed at night one too many times just thinking
What if, what if
My biggest fear is waking up to find what matters
Is miles away from what I spent my life chasing after
Is my story gonna have the same two words in every chapter?
What if, what if
But last I checked this heart inside my chest
Is still beating
Well I guess it’s not too late
What if today’s the only day I got?
I don’t wanna waste it if it’s my last shot
No regret,s in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs
I’m running till the road runs out
I’m lighting it up right here right now
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs, yeah
See I refuse to be a should a would a could a been
I can’t go back in time I don’t have a DeLorean
What I’m trying to say is I don’t wanna hear these words again
What if, what if
But last I checked this heart inside my chest
Is still beating
Well I guess it’s not too late, No No
What if today’s the only day I got?
I don’t wanna waste it if it’s my last shot
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs
I’m running till the road runs out
I’m lighting it up right here right now
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs
I’m gonna dream a little bigger
Burn a little brighter
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire
Dig a little deeper
Reach a little further
Love a little harder
I’m gonna dream a little bigger
Burn a little brighter
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire
Dig a little deeper
Reach a little further
Love a little harder
What if today’s the only day I got?
I don’t wanna waste it if it’s my last shot
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs
I’m running till the road runs out
I’m lighting it up right here right now
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what ifs, yeah
