[Verse 1]
What if we weren't two broken hearts in a single bed?
What if you had figured out the shit that was in your head?
What if I met you a little later than eighteen?
What would we have been?

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe in another life
We could have got it so right
Maybe we would've survived

[Chorus]
What if we met when we were older?
When all of the messing up was over?
And you had a job
And I had a house
Would we get the dog that we talked about?
What if we met when we were older?
Would it all have worked out?

[Verse 2]
If it hadn't been a party in somebody's uni kitchen
Would we have met in London?
Would everything be so different?
I'm not holding out for hope but tell me honestly
Do you still think of me?
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe in another life
We could have got it so right
Maybe we would've survived

[Chorus]
What if we met when we were older?
When all of the messing up was over?
And you had a job
And I had a house
Would we get the dog that we talked about?
What if we met when we were older?
Would it all have worked out?

[Bridge]
Remember everything we wished for?
Find a place with a view on the eighth floor
Maybe if I'd only met you now
I think it would've worked out
Both said we'd get bored of the city
Move to the coast and start a family
Maybe if I just knew you now
I think it would've worked out

[Outro]
What if we met when we were older?
When all of the messing up was over?
'Cause you have a job
And she has a house
And I got the dog that we talked about
What if we met when we were older?
Would it all have worked out?
