Caroline Dare - Alternate Shape Lyrics

      

alternate shape
by Caroline Dare

Verse 1
What if I did it all different?
Stuck to my roots
I wonder where I would be
What if I never put distance between me and you?
Stayed put for just one more week
Would I still be the same person?
Or change the original plan
Hang out in the same circles
Or even recognize the back of my hand
Maybe I'd be movin' mountains
Or smilin' with a little more teeth
But I bet I'd still be countin'
All of these possibilities

Chorus
I wanna feel everything all at once
I wanna be evеrything that I wanted
I've got this fear that I'm missin' out on
Somе alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
I wanna drive down these infinite roads
Live all these lives that I don't get to know now
Walk in the shoes of a girl I let go
Some alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
That I chose not to be

Verse 2
My dad said I had potential when I was a kid
I could've been something special, but I just wanted to quit
'Cause I wasn't really interested in it
But it's getting kinda interesting, thinkin'
How far would I get, and where would I end up?

Chorus
I wanna feel everything all at once
I wanna be everything that I wanted
I've got this fear that I'm missin' out on
Some alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
I wanna drive down these infinite roads
Live all these lives that I don't get to know now
Walk in the shoes of a girl I let go
Some alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
That I chose not to be

Bridge
I believe we make mistakes and pieces break
So we fall into place
Standin' in reflections, stemmin' from decisions you had to make
You could be good, but you could've been great
What could've been is what I'll take to my grave

Chorus
I wanna feel everything all at once
I wanna be everything that I wanted
I've got this fear that I'm missin' out on
Some alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
I wanna drive down these infinite roads
Live all these lives that I don't get to know now
Walk in the shoes of a girl I let go
Some alternate shape of me
That I chose not to be
That I chose not to be
