What It All Could Have Been

How do you define a lifetime Is it hours or just a feeling 'Cause lately I've been lonely since you left But silence isn't haunting when you have no regret I can't be hurt 'cause it's how we lived Do you ever go back to what it all could have been? 'Cause sometimes I go back to what it all could have been And is it really pain When all I can remember Is winter nights Holding each other It's the local front page Telling everyone we know That the house you'd love Is right down the road I could shed a tear, but that's not what it is Do you ever go back to what it all could have been? 'Cause sometimes i need it to remember to love again I'd paint all the trees in your favorite park A bright red and green like Christmas in march A picnic in the meadow and champagne on pianos Where we'd sing all the songs that no one ever wrote It's the lake house you grew up on (and your mom's favorite song) Waves on a shore, cheering us on That if it doesn't work, then is love really real? But you taught me just how love should feel Do you ever go back? 'Cause sometimes I go back? 'Cause I remember when I go back It's right there when you go back I could remind you now, the way it felt then But maybe you won't remember, how wonderful it is I could forget everything, but's not who i am Cause every time i see you I think of what it all could have been
