Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
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
Or 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
Skipped anniversaries
The get down on one knees
What if I knew in time you'd leave me?

What if
We never waited
And skipped a couple pages?
What if we made
A long story short?
And all the awkward stages
And honeymoon phases
We could've made
A long story short

Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Long story short
Ba-da-da-da, na-na

They say, "Go see where she's from
Then wait a year as a rule of thumb
Before you can call it love, love, love, " Oh, God
They say to just take it slow
They say to see where it goes
What if I would've known
When I said hello?

I would've skipped the wait
The move into my place
Pretend to love your friends I hate
Skip years of little fights
On drunken Friday nights
Why did you wait to say goodbye

What if
We never waited
And skipped a couple pages?
What if we made
A long story short?
And all the awkward stages (Ah)
And honeymoon phases (Ah)
We could've made
A long story short

Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Long story short
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
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, we could've played Santa
Been grandma and grandpa
Think about it
All those conversations we had

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

Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Long story short
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Mm-mm, mm-mm
Long story short
