What I'd Miss
Embracing Life's What-Ifs: A Song's Yearning
Lyrics
Don't wanna live like some scaredy cat
Desire to avoid living fearfully
Over analyzin' this and that
Overthinking various things
Choke when it's my turn to bat
Feeling paralyzed at crucial moments
Sit out the last dance
Avoiding opportunities
'Cause here you are in front of me
Seeing someone important
Feelin' like every thing I need
Feeling fulfilled with their presence
There's so many possibilities
Recognizing many potential outcomes
If I just take the chance
Considering taking a risk
What if there's a touch
Imagining a comforting touch
That calms my deepest fears
Finding solace in a beautiful sight
A sunset on an ocean pier
A picturesque moment shared
Where we tell each other our life stories
Sharing life stories deeply
All night long until it's morning
Conversing until dawn
What if there's a moment sayin'
Imagining an unexpected moment
Dance, though there's no music playin'
Dancing without music
And a perfect blue sky backdrop, for a kiss
Describing a perfect setting for a kiss
Is that what I'd miss?
Questioning what could be missed
Part of me wants to just wants to let go
Contemplating vulnerability
Let you get into my heart and soul
Considering letting someone in
The other part it just don't know
Uncertainty due to potential loss
'Cause theres alot to lose
Acknowledging potential risks
I could give all my everything
Offering everything to someone
No there's nothin' that you wouldn't see
Complete openness
And it could turn out that you don't love me
Fear of unreciprocated love
Like I love you
Unequal feelings in a relationship
What if there's a house with roses
Imagining a home with beauty
And a trellis
Detailing a picturesque setting
A yard that makes the neighbors jealous
Envying neighbors with a beautiful yard
We're on the front porch holdin' hands
Visualizing a future together
Makin' all our future plans
Making plans together
Family pictures on the mantle
Preserving memories
Christmas trees and Roman candles
Traditional holiday celebrations
Take out menus and weekly grocery lists
Everyday routines and life together
Is that what I'd miss?
Questioning what could be missed in life
What if there's a little girl
Imagining having a child
With your blue eyes
Describing specific features of a child
A wall that marks just how time flies
Marking the passage of time
One minute bouncin' on my knee
Enjoying moments with a child
Next she's askin' for the keys
Seeing a child grow up
Maybe I should just surrender
Considering surrendering to hope
To the hope of things we might remember
Valuing potential memories
I'll tell my heart I think it's worth the risk
Believing in the worth of taking risks
If that's what I'd miss
Considering what might be missed
That's what I'd miss
Acknowledging what could be missed in life
