What If? - Idina Menzel Here's how it starts and here's how it ends
two different hearts
maybe lovers or friends
no one knows the ways the long road bends
once every day your life starts again
no one can say just how or just when
somehow the world turns inside out and then
and then
what if what if you wonder what if what if
what if I always belonged in the city the moves me the people that thrill me
the marriage the mortgage I left them behind me before they could kill me the plan is just perfect courageous and daring to start my life new.
And I look at this morning and it moves me to say oh my god what the hell did I do.
And to this I know I just need to take care
I'm smart and self sufficient and hyper aware.
As I'm flirting with forty there's no time to wait and I can't help but feel I'm already too late
And tell me what if I'm bound for disaster,
what if I fall off a cliff? Will I ever just learn how to live and not wonder what if?
What if.....
Do I go there with Lucas or stay here with Kate. Why do I do this Obsess and debate. I've been prudent and cautious for all my life long and most of my choices turn out to be wrong.
Tell me how can this make any difference.
How could it matter at all?
How do I make such a major event
out of something so small?
Once every day your life starts again.
No one can say just how or just when.
Somehow the world turns inside out and then....
What if? What if? What if you wonder what if
See each choice that you make as kind of a loss.
Each turn that you take each coin that you toss.
You lose all the choices you don't get to make.
You wonder about all the turns you don't take.
And so what if I got there with Lucas,
What if What if
and then what if I'd answered that phone.
What if what if
Think of all of the things you would have done if only you'd known....
