about

'What if..' can't change the past, but it can make a future.

lyrics

Looking back
at all the choices that I made and
all the cards that I have played,
if the dealer called my hand,
would I take the chance to play another way?
Or just maintain a poker face and
play the hand I'd drawn to the bitter end?
Or would I deal the hand again?

Maybe if I'd gone and maybe if I'd stayed?
Maybe if I'd read the signs the futures would have changed?
Maybe if I'd spoken out or maybe kept it in?
Maybe it's just all to late for me?

Life goes on.
Another time, another day, another choice along the way
and as one door's closed
a million doorways open up for me.
But now it's time to choose again,
time to make mistakes again,
and let history decide if I've done right?

Maybe if I'd stayed the same, maybe if I'd changed?
Maybe I could help to make my futures rearrange?
Maybe if I'd saved the day or maybe lost the war?
Maybe it's just all too late for me?

Questions, upon questions, upon questions.
Like roadsigns all along the way.
And if I just decided to opt out of the whole process
would you tell me
that it still goes on...?

Maybe if I'd gone and maybe if I'd stayed?
Maybe if I'd read the signs the futures would have changed?
Maybe if I'd spoken out or maybe kept it in?
Maybe it's just all to late for me?

Maybe if I'd stayed the same, maybe if I'd changed?
Maybe I could help to make my futures rearrange?
Maybe if I'd saved the day or maybe lost the war?
Maybe it's just all too late for me?
