Song Description

A song about self reflection, and the unanswerable question of how one might be different if they had never lost a particular person from their life.

Lyrics

He'll place the chain around his neck
And feel the cool against his sweat
A moment's solace he has found

He'll brush his teeth and fix his hair
Clean shirts are waiting by the bed
He's out the door without a sound


And halfway down the road
There's a sign that I've been told will say
"If you come this far you know you're never ever coming back"
And I know he won't stop for long
But his mind speaks up as he moves along

It makes him wonder
Makes him wonder
"Would I be the same if you were here?"
It makes him wonder
Makes him wonder
"Would I be the same if you were here?"



She keeps the pictures by the bed
But she knows this face she won't forget
The silver lining for her clouds

When she looks back at what she's done
Where she was how far she's come
Ya know that somewhere they'd be proud

And halfway down the road
There's a sign that now I know will say
"If you come this far you know you're never ever coming back"
She ripped it down along the way
As tears rolled down her pretty face


It makes her wonder
Makes her wonder
"Would I be the same if you were here?"
It makes her wonder
Makes her wonder
"Would I be the same if you were here?"

Sometimes I think of how you are
Even though we're worlds apart
I know there's nothing left to fear

But it makes me wonder
Makes me wonder
"Would I be the same if you were here?"
