If the weather was just a little warmer that day,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me.
If the sun had come out
and scorched the tarmac.
If the leftover puddles had evaporated and condensed
Into fluffy white clouds.
If the birds had been singing atop the branches
of the old oak tree.
Yes,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me that day.
If we didn’t get stuck in traffic that day,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me.
If I had woken us up earlier
We would have been en-route before rush hour.
If we didn't almost crash into the old
couple in front of us.
If I had just gone at the yellow light
And not wait for green.
Yes,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me that day
If I had remembered you were allergic to prawns that day,
I’m sure you wouldn't have left me.
If I hadn’t reserved us a place
At that new Chinese place.
If I had just asked you
where you wanted to go.
If I hadn’t ordered
Fried rice with king prawns.
Yes,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me that day.
If I was someone you loved,
I’m sure you wouldn’t have left me that day.
If I was someone you’d miss
when we’d been apart for hours.
If I was the only person you could look at
with hearts in your eyes.
If I wasn’t me,
and you weren’t you,
and it wasn't then.
Yes,
I’m sure you wouldn't have left me that day.
