What Life Would've Been
If you've met every boy I've been
You'd knew I've had my doubts
I didn't know any better I was young
Just to find my way out
I was stuck in a dark hole thinking my room
Would just be an office desk
So I sit back asking myself
If I knew at all what life would've been
Life would've been a house on a hill
Putting down those roots for a living
(We would've been)
Swinging on the set at a backyard deck
Take a walk with our pet to the city
(We could've been)
Knitting on the porch
Watching kids on the block
Playing Pokèmon and Royal Match
(We could've been)
All the things that we've all imagined of
What life would've been
If you know anyone who's looking up to me
I've had my days
Like when I wanted to fix that Pontiac
It just didn't work out that way
But I got a car and a girl and a place
For us to live, sweet isn't it
I had no idea I was being blessed with
What life would've been
Life would've been a house on a hill
Putting down those roots for a living
(We would've been)
Swinging on the set at a backyard deck
Take a walk with our pet to the city
(We could've been)
Knitting on the porch
Watching kids on the block
Playing Pokèmon and Royal Match
(We could've been)
All the things that we've all imagined of
What life would've been
All the things we see
Even if we don't understand
Everything we see
Is what life would've been
Life would've been a house on a hill
Putting down those roots for a living
(We would've been)
Swinging on the set at a backyard deck
Take a walk with our pet to the city
(We could've been)
Knitting on the porch
Watching kids on the block
Playing Pokèmon and Royal Match
(We could've been)
All the things that we've all imagined of
What life would've been
All the things we see
Even if we don't understand
Everything we see
Is what life would've been
You'd knew I've had my doubts
I didn't know any better I was young
Just to find my way out
I was stuck in a dark hole thinking my room
Would just be an office desk
So I sit back asking myself
If I knew at all what life would've been
Life would've been a house on a hill
Putting down those roots for a living
(We would've been)
Swinging on the set at a backyard deck
Take a walk with our pet to the city
(We could've been)
Knitting on the porch
Watching kids on the block
Playing Pokèmon and Royal Match
(We could've been)
All the things that we've all imagined of
What life would've been
If you know anyone who's looking up to me

All the things we see
Even if we don't understand
Everything we see
Is what life would've been
