John Michael Howell - Could It Have Been Me? Lyrics

[Verse 1]So the story goes, I wear my nicest clothesPull up to the party, wait for you to showThink this will be the night everything will changeWake up on my sofa, everything the sameArms empty, heart heavyI see you're movin' out next weekIn your Chevy with somebodyAnd I can't help wonderin'[Chorus]Could it have been me sittin' next to you?In your dad's old beat-up ChevyNo clue where we're heading, mm-mm-mmCould it have been me singing to the moon?Loving you so heavyFallin' like Tom PettyCould it have been?Could it have been?[Verse 2]I guess I'll never know what it's like to hold youAlways thought it'd work itself out in the endIf life is like a movie, where's my happy ending?This isn't what I wish, but it's what I getIt's too lonely with nobodyI can see the irony'Cause I'm happy that you're happyStill, I can't help wonderin'[Chorus]Could it have been me sittin' next to you?In your dad's old beat-up ChevyNo clue where we're heading, mm-mm-mmCould it have been me singing to the moon?Loving you so heavyFallin' like Tom PettyCould it have been? (Oh, ooh-ooh-ooh)Could it have been? (Mm)[Bridge]So Chrissy, just last weekI swear I felt your mercyWhen you were around meDon't tell me it was all imaginary[Chorus]Could it have been me sittin' next to you?In your dad's old beat-up ChevyNo clue where we're heading, heyCould it have been me singing to the moon?Loving you so heavyWe're falling like Tom PettyCould it have been me?Could it have been?
