If We Never Died

That Alabama salt
Air from the gulf
Yesterday's treasure
By small colored houses on stilts

You'd take the pink one
For six days in June
I'd be the ocean
Crash on the rocks towards the moon
Around you

And I said
Just imagine what we'd do if we never died
Just imagine if we were just souls
Without the limits of time
I'd be an actress
A star at The Globe
You'd be the writer
Directing the show
Tell me love
What do you think
Said you wouldn't be anything but here with me

Talking like strangers
At night on the beach
Held secrets like sand
I just kept telling you everything

As the lights from the condos
Get blurred in the fog
You listened intently
Then we sat there in silence for hours
Until you said

Just imagine what we'd do if we never died
Just imagine if we were just souls
Without the limits of time
You'd be a sunset sick of the sky
I'd be the ocean drowning alive
Tell me love
What do you think
Said you wouldn't be anything but here with me

Oh and I'd be a painter
On some hillside in Rome
Would I color the world and still feel alone?
Oh if we lived forever
And had nothing to lose
It wouldn't mean anything without you

Just imagine what we'd do if we never died
Just imagine if we were just souls
Without the limits of time
You'd be a moment stuck on repeat
I'd be the future and somehow we'd meet
Tell me love what do you think
Said you wouldn't be anything but here with me
