Hypothetically Lyrics

Hypothetically if I were to write a love song

I'd write about the color of your eyes

How they still take me by surprise

Hypothetically if I were to write a love song

I'd write about the length of your hair

How I find them in the clothes I used to wear

But this is not a love song

And I'm not going to write one

But if I did

I'd try to convey that in a hundred thousand years

No matter what I say

Or what you hear

I will love you

And that on the day you die

I wanna be right there by your side

But just like contemplating your eventual death

This is all just a thought experiment

'Cause what if something goes wrong

What if

For whatever reason

We fall out of love

Then what would this song even be

A poorly framed shot of a moment in history

And I'll have signed up to watch someone die

That I'm not sure I wanna watch die

But love is powerful and what makes life tolerable

I hope someday I manage to change my mind

Hypothetically obviously

I'm not gonna change my mind

They're not gonna change their mind

Hypothetically if I were to write a love song

It would probably end up sounding a lot like this one

So don't quote me on this

In however much time

When whoever comes along

But this is not a love song

And I'm not going to write one
