Story Behind The Song

Lyrics

"What If"
Strachan/Kudreiko/Huff/Cottos (BMI)

What if I were wealthy
What if I were strong
What if I were mysterious
What if I belonged

I've been here a month now
I've finally settled in
The rooms are claustrophobic
The walls are paper thin
I can hear them makin' breakfast
I hear them all the time
Seems like I know them
Can I cross that line... this time

What if I were lovely
What if I were a swan
What if I were studious
What if I belonged

Clock on the wall's an imitation
The couch is on loan
My curtains are filthy
And I still don't have a phone
If I did I might call them
But they don't need my advice
There's something about them
That makes me sigh... every time

What if I were wealthy
What if I were strong
What if I were mysterious
What if I belonged

Too bad I can't join them
But it just ain't right
I wish I could be with them
Maybe tonight's the night
Maybe tonight

What if I were funny
What if I wrote a song
What if I were curious
What if I belonged
What if I were wealthy
What if I were a king
What if I were mysterious
What if I belonged
