Brandon Birdwell - What Could've Been

How can I stay afloat?
How does anyone know?
Left with memories and photographs
Just a rudderless boat

Drifting alone here
Since the tides took you home
The waves crash while I'm paddling
But I've got nowhere to go

My hands won't stop shaking
And my knees won't hold up
This water keeps rising, I keep trying, but it's not enough

A lifetime spent flailing
Trying to make amends
I try to keep bailing
But more water comes in

But I never tried to communicate to communicate how I felt
If I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single way that my heart you held
I never tried to communicate to communicate what you meant
If I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single thing, oh what could have been

I never tried to communicate to communicate how I felt
If I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single way that my heart you held
I never tried to communicate to communicate what you meant
Wish I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single thing, but you're gone my friend

I don't know I don't know, oh
I don't know I don't know, oh
I don't know I don't know, oh
I don't know I don't know, oh

How do I stay afloat?
How does anyone know?
Left with memories and photographs
Just a rudderless boat

But I never tried to communicate to communicate how I felt
If I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single way that my heart you held
I never tried to communicate to communicate what you meant
Wish I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single thing, oh what could have been

'Cause I never tried to communicate to communicate how I felt
If I could turn back time I'd enumerate every single way that my heart you held
I never tried to communicate to communicate what you meant
Wish I could turn back time and enumerate every single thing, but you're gone my friend
