about

Our 4th single from the upcoming album. "What If" is an optimistic, lighthearted daydream. Light-hearted and sweet, with a little wistful and shy added in. We think we were feeling our inner @americaband on this one! - Written and performed by Gates & Goodell

lyrics

Medium latte, I'll have a muffin to go.
She smiles up at me, asking if I want some foam...
... what if I say, "Why don't we go?"...

People behind me, pushing to work on the run.
No time to ask her what will she do when she's done...
... what if I say, "Maybe I know!"...

Wouldn't she like to know she stands out in this crowd?
I can see a future starting now.
Take these dreams I'm feelin' and say them right out loud...

Drinking my coffee, hours of work left to go.
Nothing comes to me, can't concentrate till I know...
...What if next time I say, "Let's go!"...

Wouldn't she like to know she stands out in this crowd?
I can see a future starting now.
Take these dreams I'm feelin' and say them right out loud...

Wouldn't she like to know she stands out in this crowd?
I can see a future starting now.
Wouldn't she?... Wouldn't she?... Wouldn't she?.... ooooooo...
