What If
by Matthew West

Album: Brand New


Verse 1
I've heard 'em say before to live just like you're dying, yeah
Wish I could say that's how I am but I'd be lying, yeah
Lying in my bed at night one too many times, I'm thinking
What if? (What if?) What if? (What if?)

Verse 2
My biggest fear is waking up to find what matters
Is miles away from what I spent my life chasing after
Is my story gonna have the same two words in every chapter?
What if? (What if?) What if? (What if?)

Pre-Chorus
But last I checked this heart inside my chest, is still beating
Well I guess it's not too late

Chorus
What if today's the only day I got?
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
I'm running 'til the road runs out
I'm lighting it up, I'm right here, right now, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs, yeah

Verse 3
See I refuse to be a should'a, would'a, could'a been
I can't go back in time, I don't have a DeLorean
What I'm tryna say is I don't wanna say these words again
What if? What if?

Pre-Chorus
But last I checked this heart inside my chest, is still beating
Well I guess it's not too late, no no

Chorus
What if today's the only day I got?
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
I'm running 'til the road runs out
I'm lighting it up, I'm right here, right now, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs

Bridge
I'm gonna dream a little bigger, burn a little brighter
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire
Dig a little deeper, reach a little further
Love a little harder
I'm gonna dream a little bigger, burn a little brighter
Stand a little taller, closer to Your fire
Dig a little deeper, reach a little further
Love a little harder

Chorus
'Cause what if today's the only day I got?
I don't wanna waste it if it's my last shot, whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets, in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
I'm running 'til the road runs out
I'm lighting it up, I'm right here, right now, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No regrets (No), in the end
I wanna know I got no what-ifs, yeah

Outro
Na-na, na-na-na (Oh-oh, whoa)
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na (Oooh, yeah)
Na-na, na-na-na
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
Na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na-na
I wanna know I got no what-ifs
