Silver Jews – What Is Not But Could Be If lyrics
What is not but could be if
What could appear in the morning mist
With all associated risk
What is not but could be if
What was not but could have been
Was my obsession way back when
Now I just remember this
What is not but could be if
What is not but could be if
We could be crossing this abridged abyss
Into beginning
When failure’s got you in its grasp
And you’re reaching for your very last
It’s just beginning
One has lived life carelessly
If he or she has failed to see
That the truth is not alive or dead
The truth is struggling to be said
So how do we get out of this
Family shadows all of this
Through what is not but could be if
With all associated risk
What is not but could be if
We could be crossing this abridged abyss
Into beginning
When failure’s got you in its grasp
And you’re reaching for your very last
It’s just beginning
What could appear in the morning mist
With all associated risk
What is not but could be if
What was not but could have been
Was my obsession way back when
Now I just remember this
What is not but could be if
What is not but could be if
We could be crossing this abridged abyss
Into beginning
When failure’s got you in its grasp
And you’re reaching for your very last
It’s just beginning
One has lived life carelessly
If he or she has failed to see
That the truth is not alive or dead
The truth is struggling to be said
So how do we get out of this
Family shadows all of this
Through what is not but could be if
With all associated risk
What is not but could be if
We could be crossing this abridged abyss
Into beginning
When failure’s got you in its grasp
And you’re reaching for your very last
It’s just beginning
