What if i just left this house

took the car and drove downtown

and watched the lights glow all around

the sleepless, dreamless city?



what if i just cut the cord

left this land and stepped aboard

a ship just as it left its port

not knowing where i'm going



and what if you were next to me

as i drove through the quiet city?

and what if you were holding my hand

as i departed from the corrupted land?



what if i just moved away

a sudden, risky getaway

so i could maybe breakaway

from the life i'm sick of living



what if i just said goodbye?

would you miss me, would you cry?

would a single tear drop from your eye?

would you hug me one last time?



and what if you were still next to me

like you were back when the air wasn't misty

and what if you hadn't let me run away

what if you had kissed me?
