[Verse 1]
What if I told you
What I've been hiding all this time?
What if the words I'm scared to say
Are already on your mind?
(are they?)
What if you looked at me
And didn't turn away?
What if for just one moment
We didn't have to be afraid?
(just one moment)
[Pre-Chorus]
I keep imagining your hand in mine
A life that could've been yours and mine
Then I wake up and you're still there
But I'm not allowed to love you like I care
(I wish I could)
[Chorus]
What if... what if...
We stopped pretending we don't feel?
What if... what if...
For once, we let our hearts be real?
What if the person I've been waiting for
Has been standing right here all along?
What if I said I loved you?
Would you say you loved me all along?
(all along...)
[Verse 2]
What if we had met differently?
Somewhere nobody knew our names
No history between us
No one else to blame
(just you and me)
Would you still look at me
The way you always do?
Would I still feel this safe
Every time I'm close to you?
(I think I would)
[Pre-Chorus]
You don't have to say a word
I swear I see it in your eyes
Maybe you're hiding something too
Maybe you're just as scared as I
(are you scared too?)
[Chorus]
What if... what if...
We stopped pretending we don't feel?
What if... what if...
For once, we let our hearts be real?
What if the person I've been waiting for
Has been standing right here all along?
What if I said I loved you?
Would you say you loved me all along?
(tell me you would)
[Bridge]
What if tomorrow
I finally told the truth?
What if I stopped being afraid
Of what I'd lose?
What if you reached for me
And I reached back too?
What if the impossible
Wasn't impossible with you?
(with you...)
But what if I'm wrong?
What if you don't feel the same?
What if saying those three little words
Changes everything?
(I'm scared)
So I'll keep wondering
And you'll keep wondering too
Two hearts saying everything
Without saying what they knew
(we both know...)
[Chorus]
What if... what if...
We finally let ourselves believe?
What if... what if...
There's a different life for you and me?
What if the person I've been searching for
Was never really far away?
What if I said I loved you?
Would you finally say my name?
(say it...)
What if... what if...
We weren't too late to change our story?
What if... what if...
You were always meant to find me?
What if the love I've been hiding
Was the love you were hiding too?
What if I stopped asking what if...
And finally ran to you?
(to you...)
[Outro]
But for now I'll close my eyes
And dream of what could be...
(just you and me)
And somewhere in that little dream
You're finally here with me.
