Threw a line out to pull you to me
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it
You made your mind up before you knew me
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it

Take my hand for a minute
We’re in it, imagine all the pain that might be forgiven

What if I had your heart?
What if you wore my scars?
How would we break down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?

What if you told my lies?
What if I cried with your eyes?
Could anyone keep us down?
What if you were me and what if I were you?

Had a dream of a new tomorrow
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it
I took a step up and you might follow
If you don’t get it, then you don’t get it

To the ones who make it better
Vying to get out, got to touch the other side
What if all that it took to save our lives, together,
was to rise up

—

What if your hand was my hand? Could they hold on or let go?
What if your love was my life? Could they love what we don’t know?
What if your hand was my hand? Could we hold on or let go?

What if your love was my life?

..and what if I were you?
