Wrestling with committing a lifetime to someone, or not.

Lyrics
A glance is long enough to see she sparkles
Tapestries of words display the world inside his heart
She swears it’s not a date but HE still looks at her that way
Can any lovers ever finish what they start?
A courtship long enough to see him shaken
Memories casting shadows, casting spells across her mind
He swears it’s different now but SHE still looks at him that way
Can new love only outrun heartache while it’s blind?
What if we do? And then we don’t?
Will we crash around the corner, leave a wreck beside the road?
What if we do? What if we’re fools?
He can’t think of life without her. She just wants his arms around her.
Will they last long enough to see the ending?
When hair is well past gray, when love is stronger than before.
The years were long and hard, but they don’t look at it that way.
Here’s to rowing when you can’t see either shore.
We’re wonderful and broken and we’re spinning round and round
Afraid to hold on tighter or let go
We could close our eyes and say forever, heaven bound
Or right now, without blinking, say, hello
What if we do? And then we don’t?
Will we crash around the corner, leave a wreck beside the road?
What if we do? What if we’re fools?
He can’t think of life without her. She just wants his arms around her.
