Who Would You Be?

Verse 1

Would your voice still sound the same?

Would you laugh loud or stay quiet?

Would you still sleep with the hallway light

Or tell me one day you didn’t need it?

Would you’ve dyed your hair some crazy color?

Fell in love too fast one summer?

Would you’ve left this town behind

Or stayed right here beside me?

Pre-Chorus

There’s a thousand versions of your life

That only live inside my mind

Chorus

Who would you be?

What dreams would’ve found you?

What kind of world would you’ve built around you?

Would you sing?

Would you fly?

Would you still call me late at night?

I’ll never know

And that’s the part that breaks me

Not just that you had to leave

But who would you be?

TVerse 2

Would there be somebody you’d bring home?

Would I pretend not to like ‘em?

Would you roll your eyes and laugh

And tell me I was overthinking?

Would you’ve had your mother’s kindness?

Or my stubbornness and timing?

Would your hands grow into mine

Like time was always planning?

Pre-Chorus

The world keeps writing chapters now

But yours stopped turning pages somehow

Chorus

Who would you be?

Would your life look anything like mine?

Would you’ve changed your dreams a hundred times?

Would you’ve traveled?

Would you’ve stayed?

Would you still remember birthdays?

I’ll never know

And that’s the wound that stays with me

Not just who you were…

But who would you be?

Bridge

Maybe somewhere all those futures exist

Every laugh, every scar, every wish

And maybe you became everything

I still imagine

But here…

I only get to wonder

Final Chorus

Who would you be?

Who would you become if you got the time?

Cause I still see your whole life

When I close my eyes

And if love can carry anything

Then maybe it carries possibility

And maybe part of you still gets to be…

Everything I dreamed you’d be
