What Could Have Been

~

Yeah, we're talking 'bout everything and nothing all at once
I'm finding it so easy to smile for real
yeah, strumming our guitars randomly,
singing off key,
this is not how I'm supposed to feel.

But our hearts were taken, before we had a chance
and while I'm thinking,
"What's this we fell into?"
he holds out his hand, and asks me to dance.

Yeah, we danced all night, and my problems flew out the window
and I'm thinking, "why does this feel so right?"
and we both know it could never be, him and me
but still I know, tonight we're both
staring at the stars, wondering
what could have happened,
what could have been.

Yeah, we're laughing at ourselves and we're messing about
we know each other like we know ourselves
when we're mad and we hate the world,
problems with him and her
we know how to make it better again.

But our hearts are taken, and we can only be friends
and while I'm thinking, "I'm not allowed to fall for you."
he takes my hand, and asks me to dance.

Yeah, we danced all night, and my problems flew out the window
and I'm thinking, "Why does this feel so right?"
and we both know it could never be, him and me
but still I know, tonight we're both
staring at the stars, wondering
what could have happened,
what could have been.

Yeah, I love him like a brother, and I know he loves me
when I cry, he makes me laugh so easily
he'll break down, I'll understand,
like the back of my hand
but we both know it's not meant to be.

'Cause our hearts are taken, and we can't make it right
and while I'm thinking "what are we going to do?"
he holds me tight, and asks me for one last dance tonight.

Yeah, we danced all night, and my problems flew out the window
and I'm thinking, "Why does this feel so right?"
and we both know it could never be, him and me
but still I know, tonight we're both
staring at the stars, wondering
what could have happened,
what could have been.

Oh no, what's this we fell into?
I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to fall for you.
oh, what are we going to do?

Yeah, we danced all night, and problems flew out the window
and I'm thinking, "Why does this feel so right?"
and we both know it could never be, him and me
but still I know, tonight we're both
staring at the stars, wondering
what could have happened,
what could have been.

Oh, what could have been..
