Hypothetically Alive

Look me dead in my eyes

Tell me what you see

If I said what’s on my mind

Would you laugh at me?

⸻

I can’t say that I’m falling, but I’ve been curious lately

If I crossed that line, would you still take me seriously?

Or would you smile, brush it off, say I’m crazy

Like there was never a universe where you and me made sense, maybe

I’m not saying it would work, but if time bent a little

If I made a move, would you meet me in the middle?

If I reached for your hand, would you let me stay?

Or would I be the only one feeling this way?

⸻

Hypothetically, if I went all-in

Would I fall alone, or would we both slip?

I don’t need forever, I just need a sign

That I’m not insane for reading between these lines

⸻

Look me dead in my eyes

Tell me I’m not wasting time

I’ve been dead inside

But with you, I feel alive

Hypothetically, could I be the one?

Or am I reaching for a star I’ll never touch?

If I said your name with my last name

Would you ever feel the same way?

⸻

Fell in love before, yeah, it left me lonely

Tried to trust fast, but it burned me slowly

I didn’t know what I was looking for

‘Til I found her… yeah, I found her

I’ve run for miles trying to find love

From someone who won’t disappear when it gets tough

I’ve run from my fears, from the shit inside

But you make it quiet when you’re by my side

⸻

You say we’re already done

But what does that even mean?

I wake up sweating, heart in my chest

Thank God it was just a dream

⸻

Look me dead in my eyes

Promise you won’t say goodbye

I’ve been messed up, stressed out

But with you, I feel alive

Hypothetically, if I chose you first

Would you choose me back, or let it hurt?

If I fall this time, I fall for real

Just tell me you’d feel it too

⸻

I guess that’s how you know that it’s love

When you’re scared they’ll leave

So just say you’ll never leave

Even if it’s just tonight with me

⸻

Look me dead in my eyes

‘Til the day that I die

I just wanna feel alive

And with you… I’m alive

Hypothetically, maybe it’s us

Maybe I’m not asking for too much

If I ever say I’m falling for you

Just don’t laugh… say you feel it too

ooh-ooh-ooh
