What If I

What If I

Verse 1
Not another boring song in C
I am even boring me 
Not another ‘how’s the weather?’
I don’t care about umbrellas or sweaters

Chorus
But what if I… have nothing new to say
What if I’ve… said everything before today
Will you still love me?, Will I still hope?
What if I fade away, become absorbed by a cliche’

Verse 2
Not another minute-made life
You stir it up, but it’s still dry
I can’t live this second hand story
My experience should be euphoric

Chorus
But what if I… have nothing new to say
What if I’ve… said everything before today
Will you still love me?, Will I still hope?
What if I fade away, become absorbed by a cliche’

Bridge
I stare at the words I’ve written
Push them around on my plate
I’m hoping for a new combination
Just one new taste
But it’s still yesterday’s conversation
Blase’ Francaise

Chorus
But what if I… have nothing new to say
What if I’ve… said everything before today
Will you still love me?, Will I still hope?
What if I fade away, become absorbed by a cliche’
