What If
Ephemeral Promises: Contemplating Love's Tomorrow in 'What If'
Lyrics
Every day I try to see the closeness that you promised
Attempting daily to perceive the intimacy or connection that was assured to me but gradually diminishes
me that fades away, fades away
The promised closeness fading away continually
Every night I try to dream of what you wanted me to
Each night, striving to envision the person you wished me to become in your life
be in your life, in your life
To exist as a significant part of your life
Every dawn of light that wakes you up will remind you
Each morning light awakening you will serve as a reminder of the touch and presence you'll long for intensely
of my touch, that you'll miss so much
Your yearning for the touch and presence that will be profoundly missed
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
Contemplating the hypothetical scenario of my demise tomorrow, wondering if my absence would be felt by you
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
Pondering whether my sorrow and tears tomorrow would elicit any emotional response from you
Every time you think about the things you said remind yourself how I'm gone
Recalling the statements made and reflecting on how they might bring an awareness of my absence
I hope you take the signs "Of listen learn" tomorrow
Hoping that the signs or lessons about paying attention and learning will be understood tomorrow because tomorrow is uncertain
isn't promised, nothing's promised
Acknowledging the uncertainty of the future, where nothing is assured or guaranteed
Every hour of every day that I'm by, you'll cry for me, you'll cry for me
Anticipating that during every moment spent without me, there will be tears shed in my absence
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
Similar to line 8, pondering if my absence due to death would create a sense of longing within you
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
Questioning if my emotional distress, expressed through tears, would prompt any emotional reaction from you
A story has just been told that hasn't happen yet
Describing a narrative yet to unfold, projecting a tragic future that hasn’t occurred
Just a tragic foreshadowing of what could happen to you
Portraying a sorrowful prediction of what might transpire in your life
Think before you speak, it could be the last time
Advising to consider words before uttering them as it might be the final opportunity
The last time, the last time
Emphasizing the significance of being mindful, as it could be the ultimate chance
What if die tomorrow, would you miss me here
Reiterating the contemplation of one’s potential absence and its impact on the other person
And what if I cry tomorrow, would you shed your tears
Asking if the expression of my sorrow through tears tomorrow would evoke any response from you
A story has just been told that hasn't happen yet
Reiterating the notion of an untold story, predicting a tragic future
Just a tragic foreshadowing of what could happen
Once again projecting a sorrowful future scenario
