Lyrics

What If
Lunarity

What if I hadn’t sent that letter to you?
Just stayed up in the attic, howling at the moon?
Taken the time to think it all through,
before say-in’ hell-lo?

How to capture a lifetime of things not said,
cut loose the voice running in my head?
Scratch a couple lines up on the wall,
a simple song to say it all.

Tell me, will all our dreams come true,
if I send another letter to you?

Will it make things better, everything alright,
stop you from crying, avoid another fight?
Can I take back the love, pay for all the pain,
if I send another letter to you.

What if I’d danced with her spinning’ in the wing?
Shook the old man’s hand, let the caged bird sing?
Been able to walk out the front door,
and say just hello?

Could I have met expectations, tales untold,
mastered the psychosis, turned madness into gold?
Or just traded cages, wheels spinnin’ ‘round,
if I’d said hello.

Tell me, would’ve all our dreams come true,
if I’d sent a letter to you?

Would it’ve made things better, everything alright,
kept you from crying, stopped all the fights?
Could I've taken back the love, paid for all the pain,
if I’d sent a letter to you?

What if I could call the clouds, live-giving rains,
calm the raging storm, sooth the savage pain?
But who to give to, from who withhold,
to who not say hello?

Tell me, will all our dreams come true,
if I don’t send a letter to you?

If souls are universal, free to fly,
where have we come from? What am I?
Where are we going? Is there a master plan?
Who to send a letter to?

Tell me, will all our dreams come true,
if I send a letter to you?
