What If

We're polar opposites, I can see that You stand for risk, yet shy away from me I play it safe, but you're my one exception Given the chance to make you mine, I would There's my confession I can see you're scared to love But I'm betting against the odds You feel it too, something you can't control And so you waver But if you don't just give us a chance You'll be asking yourself why you aren't mine When you wake up in your fifties next to no one in particular Our minds constantly on each other Can't see yourself with any other I know you already told your mother So while we're still young And we can still run away from what seems to be reality nowadays Just for the hell of it, why don't we fall in love? You play Post in your car daily And I grew up singing to Whitney No one understands why we can't see it You're risky and you know I like that I'm hard to read, a puzzle piece I want this, challenging as it might be Cause if you don't just give us a chance You'll be asking yourself why you aren't mine When you wake up in your fifties next to no one in particular Our minds constantly on each other Can't see yourself with any other I know you already told your mother So while we're still young And we can still run away from what seems to be reality nowadays Just for the hell of it, why don't we fall in love? Letting go of all the doubts, we both know that this would work out By your side is where I want to be Every night you're on my mind, the biggest "What if" of my life I know it'd be easier to say goodbye But if you just gave us a chance You might finally find happy in your life When you wake up in your fifties next to the girl you gave your grandma's ring The one you thank God for every day that you finally found the real thing But you know this can never happen, if you don't just make it so If you like me baby Why can't you just show it Oh come on baby, take a chance on me What do you say? Why don't we fall in love? Why don't we fall in love?
