Could It Have Been Me? Lyrics

Could It Have Been Me? - John Michael Howell

...

So the story goes, I wear my nicest clothes

Pull up to the party, wait for you to show

Think this will be the night everything will change

Wake up on my sofa, everything the same

Arms empty, heart heavy

I see you're moving out next week

In your Chevy with somebody

And I can't help wondering

Could it have been me sittin' next to you?

In your dad's old beat-up Chevy

No clue where we're heading

Could it have been me singing to the moon?

Loving you so heavy

Fallin' like Tom Petty

Could it have been?

Could it have been?

I guess I'll never know what it's like to hold you

Always thought it'd work itself out in the end

If life is like a movie, where's my happy ending?

This isn't what I wish, but it's what I get

It's too lonely with nobody

I can see the irony

Cause I'm happy that you're happy

Still, I can't help wondering

Could it have been me sittin' next to you?

In your dad's old beat-up Chevy

No clue where we're heading

Could it have been me singing to the moon?

Loving you so heavy

Fallin' like Tom Petty

Could it have been?

Could it have been?

So Chrissy, just last week

I swear I felt your mercy

When you were around me

Don't tell me it was all imaginary

Could it have been me sittin' next to you?

In your dad's old beat-up Chevy

No clue where we're heading, hey

Could it have been me singing to the moon?

Loving you so heavy

We're falling like Tom Petty

Could it have been me?

Could it have been?
