(Intro - heavy, muted 808s and a melancholic piano melody)
Yeah... uh...
Know how it goes, right?
Sometimes you just sit back and think...
What if?
(Verse 1)
If I could rewind the clock, just for a single day
Would I say things different? Take a different highway?
Maybe dodge the heartache, the rain clouds in my soul
Avoid the ghost of your touch, the stories left untold.
If I could see the future, just a glimpse of what's to come
Would I still take that chance, or would I just run?
Would I still chase the fire, knowing how it burns
Or learn from all the embers, the lessons hard-earned?
(Pre-Chorus)
Hindsight's twenty-twenty, they all say it's true
But living in the present, got me stumbling through
Lost in the maze of choices, the paths I can't retrace
Wish I had a roadmap, to navigate this space.
(Chorus - beat drops slightly, more open, Drake's signature sing-song rap)
If I could, yeah, if I could, re-write history's script
Erase the broken moments, the promises that slipped
If I could, just for a moment, hold you close again
Tell you everything I meant, before the bitter end.
If I could, if I could, escape this heavy rain
But the truth is, baby, some things just can't be changed.
(Verse 2)
If I could silence all the voices, the whispers in my head
Telling me I wasn't good enough, filling me with dread
If I could believe the hype, the people singing praise
Instead of dwelling on the doubters, lost in a mental maze.
If I could trust my instincts, the whispers deep inside
Instead of letting fear control me, nowhere left to hide
If I could just be fearless, just for a little while
Break free from these chains, learn how to truly smile.
(Pre-Chorus)
Hindsight's twenty-twenty, they all say it's true
But living in the present, got me stumbling through
Lost in the maze of choices, the paths I can't retrace
Wish I had a roadmap, to navigate this space.
(Bridge - beat fades almost completely, just piano and ambient sounds)
Maybe the "what ifs" are just a distraction, a way to avoid the pain
Of accepting the reality, the sunshine after the rain.
Maybe the scars we carry, are just a sign we survived
And the lessons learned along the way, keep us truly alive.
(Outro)
If i could, just for a moment, i will hold u close again
(Fade out)
