Out To Play Lyrics

What would have been
Had you not gone out to play?

Do you regret
Anything you did that day?

Now I'm alone
Think about you everyday
What would have been
Had you not gone out to play?

The wild blue sea
Was your favorite alibi
So young and free
That you never said goodbye

She took my friend
It took the only love I knew
What would have been
Had I gone to play with you?

You sleep alone
In your favorite alibi
The years have gone
And still every night I cry

I regret
Everything you did that day
What would have been
Had you not gone out to play?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
