Story Behind The Song

I wrote the words "hypotheetically" and "theoretically" on a piece of paper and went to bed. I got up and wrote this, which means my subconscious wrote it, which is really scary. I ahd to keep "allowing" myself to say these awful things on paper. Goes over well with the audience, though, so it seems more people can relate to these evil thoughts than we'd like to think...

Song Description

The female narrator is aking the guy (hypothetically) if he'd be interested in getting together if his current girlfriend somehow disappeared from the picture... hypothetically. Just wondering.

Lyrics

I was just wondering hypothetically
What would you do? theoretically
If something should happen accidentally or medically
What if your girlfriend was gone?

If she died in a fire from a broken light fixture
Or happened to swallow a poisonous mixture
Would I find my way back into the picture
If you were suddenly alone?

Chorus:
Would you call me up
Would you write me a letter
Would you tie a message to your Irish Setter
Would you try to get through so we could be together
What if your girlfriend was gone?

If she disappeared without a trace
And everyone looked all over the place
Why do you have that look on your face?
It's not like I have any plans!

But if I were around and I could appease ya
And she was suddenly struck with amnesia
And never again would be able to please ya
Would you still wanna be her man?

Chorus

Of course, as you know, I'm a very nice girl
A beacon of light in a cold, cruel world
Evil plans I could never carry out..
But who could blame me for wonderin' about

If something should happen hypothetically
What would you do? theoretically
If something should happen accidentally or medically
What if your girlfriend was gone?

Chorus

Would you walk away from your deep devotion
Put a letter in a bottle and throw it in the ocean
Realize that you've got a notion
To give me my long overdue promotion

Chorus
