lyrics

I look back on our past and I get so confused
The foolish things we didn't do back in our youth
So many times I thought that we would finally kiss
I never could say where things went amiss

I would've if you could've
Sometimes I think we should've
I would've if you could've
maybe fallen in love with me

I look back on the days and I get so frustrated
We loved each other but we never dated
In all our photos I see lost opportunity
I never could tell the forest from the trees

I would've if you could've
Sometimes I think we should've
I would've if you could've
maybe fallen in love with me

All that was years ago so long in our past
When I was just a punk half-cocked and so half-assed
I know by now there are few happily ever afters
Still I could picture a heaven in your laughter

I would've if you could've
Sometimes I think we should've
I would've if you could've
maybe fallen in love with me
