Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Wouldn't have wasted my time
And could've saved the pick-up line
Didn't have to go buy your drinks that night
Or go and ask for your number
Wait a week to call ya
Or wait to meet your mother
I wonder

What if we skipped the wait
The fancy dinner dates
And all the hallmark holidays, yeah
Skip ten anniversaries
To get down on one knee
What if I knew in time you'd leave me

What if
We never waited
And skip a couple pages
What if we made
Long story short
End all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
Long story short

Long story short

I'd say go see where she's from
Then wait a year as a rule of thumb
Before you can call it love
Our love, oh, God
We say to just take it slow
We say to see where it goes
What if I would've known
When I said hello

I would've skipped the wait
The moving to my place
Pretend to love your friends I hate
Skip years of little fights
Sun-drunk and Friday nights
Why did you wait to say goodbye?

What if
We never waited
And skip a couple pages
What if we made
Long story short
End all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
Long story short

Long story short
Long story short

The more I think about it
All those conversations we had
I wanted little ones to look like you and not like their dad
Oh, you could've pretend to be grandma and grandpa
Think about it
All those conversations we had

And what if
We never waited
Girl, why did you cut
Long story short
End all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
Long story short

Long story short
Long story short
