if i never

If I never had my heart ripped out my chest
How could you pick up the thread and stitch me back up again?
If I'd given up on music when I got laughed at by my friends
I'd have never been at that party where we met

Oh, I've been tracin' the steps back that led here
From the moment you walked in my life
I've been askin' myself how'd we get here
How the timing worked out so precise

'Cause if I never saw your face when the storm blew in the rain
We'd have never run for cover where you asked me for my name
If it'd been some other day at a different time and place
We'd have missed out on each other and we'd never, we'd never be the same
(We'd never, we'd never be)

If I hadn't had that fight with my mom and ran out
I'd have never come cry on your shoulder and kiss you on the front porch of your house
That was the first time I said I love you out loud
We've both said it a million times by now

But baby, if I never saw your face when the storm blew in the rain
We'd have never run for cover where you asked me for my name
If it'd been some other day at a different time and place
We'd have missed out on each other and we'd never, we'd never be the same
(We'd never, we'd never be the same)
(We'd never, we'd never be)

I've been tracin' the steps back that led here
From the moment you walked in my life
I've been askin' myself how'd we get here
How the timing worked out so precise

'Cause if I never saw your face when the storm blew in the rain
We'd have never run for cover where you asked me for my name
If it'd been some other day at a different time and place
We'd have missed out on each other and we'd never, we'd never be the same

(We'd never, we'd never be)
(We'd never, we'd never be)
We'd never, we'd never be the same
We'd never, we'd never be
