Omaha (The Only What If)

歌詞

I met a man going to Omaha
He told me some stories 'bout his son-in-law
He spoke just like your parents, in a Western drawl
If you could even call it that
I told him how we'd hit the Iowa State Fair
I felt a little like an alien out there
It's crazy how much he resembled ya
Guess that's the comfort of Middle America

And I know you're away and out achieving something
Found your own saving grace, and she's cute as a button
And I'm still a basket case
But that's the life that I picked
You're not the one that got away
You're just the only, "What if?"
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

以下、歌詞続く...

He gave a smile as he waved goodbye
I've seen that same expression 'bout a million times
"Godspeed", he said to me with understanding eyes
I never got to know his name
I watched him as he turned to walk away
I thought about you all the way to baggage claim
You can't ask fire to stick around in pouring rain
Guess that's either a blessing or an awful shame

Baby, it was alright for just a little bit
Romeo spinnin' lies to hand to Juliet
You had a blueprint for life, I had a bucket list
And I didn't fit
So, I just made the best of it

And I know you're away and out achieving something
Found your own saving grace, and she's cute as a button
Aren't you glad I gave my place to someone worthy of it?
You're not the one that got away
You're just the only, "What if?"

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
