Lyrics
If nobody was lookin', who'd you want to be?
Tucked away from the world, just you and me
How would you spend your lifetime, if all expectations fade?
If no one would see it, what would you make?
I’d build a cabin on a hillside, I’d clear some brush to make a trail
I’d put some forts up in the trees, so all my friends can visit me
And build a fire for telling all our tales
If nobody was listening, how would your songs sound?
What do you play for yourself when no one's around?
If you never took a picture, what would make you smile?
What do you do that makes life worth the while?
I’d spend my summer walking ridgelines with my banjo on my back
I’d spend my winters staying in, learning tunes in golden afternoons
And spring would find me heading down the tracks
If nobody was watching, would you dance for fun?
If no one ever saw your body would you still run?
Do you walk a straight line, are things as they seem?
Or is your head, like mine, still full of dreams?
I’d spend my mornings tending flowers that I’d make into my tea
I’d spend my evenings on the porch, picking melodies through open doors
And afternoons we’d spend down by the creek
