What If You Were Mine

Intro-
What if…
What if you were mine… (mine… mine…)
Just for a night… (just one night…)
⸻
[Verse 1 – calm, intimate]
You got a way of pulling me in (pulling me in…)
Without even trying to
Say something small, I overthink it (I do…)
Like it means something new

We get too close, then we pull back (back…)
Like we both know the line
But every time I walk away (walk away…)
I wish you would cross mine (cross mine…)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus ]
‘Cause it ain’t nothing, but it ain’t just friends (no, it ain’t…)
And I hate how it never ends (never ends…)
We stay right here in between (in between…)
Everything we could be
⸻
[Chorus ]
I could’ve been yours, you could’ve been mine (mine…)
We were right there, just bad timing (bad timing…)
One more step and we would’ve crossed that line (that line…)
Now I’m stuck on the “what if” side (what if…)
What if you were mine, just for a night (just for a night…)
Would you hold me like you mean it? (mean it…)
Would it feel right? (tell me, would it?)
What if I said everything I hide? (everything…)
Would you run away or stay right by my side? (stay… don’t go…)
What if the stars collided out of time (out of time…)
Just to prove that you were meant to be mine? (be mine…)
Would you finally see me different… (see me…)
Or still walk away? (don’t walk away…)

You look at me like you don’t know (you know…)
But I swear you felt it too (felt it too…)
We got so close to something real (so close…)
Now I’m just almost with you
Almost yours… (almost…)
And you were almost mine (mine…)
⸻
[Verse 2]
You say my name like it’s nothing (say it again…)
But it don’t sound the same
I seen you laughing with somebody new (yeah…)
And I swear it should’ve been me (should’ve been me…)

If I would’ve said it first (would you stay?)
Would you have stayed or ran? (tell me…)
Or would we be something now
Instead of “what we could’ve been”? (could’ve been…)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
We were one move from everything (everything…)
But we never said a thing (said nothing…)
Now it’s too late to rewind (too late…)
But it still plays in my mind (in my mind…)
⸻
[Chorus]
I could’ve been yours, you could’ve been mine (mine… mine…)
We were right there, just bad timing (timing…)
One more step and we would’ve crossed that line (crossed it…)
Now I’m stuck on the “what if” side (what if… what if…)
What if you were mine, just for a night… (repeat softly under main vocal)
Would you hold me like you mean it? (hold me…)
Would it feel right? (feel right…)
What if I said everything I hide? (everything…)
Would you run away or stay right by my side? (stay… stay…)
What if the stars collided out of time (out of time…)
Just to prove that you were meant to be mine? (mine… mine…)
⸻
[Bridge]
I almost told you how I feel that night (that night…)
But I got scared and let it die (let it die…)
Now every “what if” keeps me up (keeps me up…)
‘Cause I don’t know if I messed it up (did I lose you?)

[Outro]
We got so close to something real (so close…)Now I’m just almost with you Almost yours… (almost…)
