"Eliana" lyrics

If you were me, what would you do differently?
You could be in my arms
House on the creek, not so distant, I think
How does an ending start?

Everything that did not matter
Does it really matter now?
Everything that you thought mattered
Everything that you thought
Everything is boxed and gathered
Everything is ushered out
Everything that you thought mattered
Does it really matter now?

We drive to Delaware on a Tuesday
It's a New Year, ain't that tragic?
We'll pretend it's just a school break
Even though we're not nostalgic
You are better at the basics
I'm just going through the motions
But you say no one could escape it
Jump a puddle, find an ocean

Things that did not matter
Do they really matter now?
Everything that you thought mattered
Everything that you thought
Is it better in a pattern?
Is it better scattered out?
Everything that you thought mattered
Does it really matter now?

If I were you, if you were me
I don't know
Would I wear business clothes?
Would you write little shows?
If I were you, if you were me
From before
Would I hold onto more?
Should we hold onto more?

If I were you, if you were me
For a while
Would I run twenty miles?
Would you feel
Pack up your things

If I were you for a time
If you were me for a time
