What If
Johnny Orlando Mackenzie Ziegler Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's talk about all those things that we shouldn't talk about
Those kind of words that would change all the things we talk about
Tell me do you ever think of us?
Should I ask for more or should I stop?

What if a tomorrow means that we are here together?
What if we are taking chances just to loose it all?
Am I really crazy thinking 'bout this all together?
What if I've been missing the writing on the wall?

What if I say

I know, you know
What if I told you I like you?
We stay, we go
What if I told you I like you?
I know, you know
What if I told you I like you?
We stay, we go
What if I told you I like you?

What if I told you I like you?

What if I told you I like you?

I hear everything you saying, saying 'bout us
It's not about right or wrong, it's about what we love
Would it be simple or would it be too complicated?
Should I keep going or maybe it's better to stop?

What if a tomorrow means that we are here together?
What if we are taking chances just to loose it all?
Am I really crazy thinking 'bout this all together?
What if I've been missing the writing on the wall?

What if I say

I know, you know
What if I told you I liked you?
We stay, we go

What if I told you I liked you?
I know, you know
What if I told you I like you?

We stay, we go

What if I told you I like you?

What if I told you I like you?

What if I say
I know, you know
What if I told you I liked you?
We stay, we go
What if I told you I liked you?
I know, you know
What if I told you I liked you?
We stay, we go
What if I told you I liked you?

I like you, oh yeah
What if I told you I like you





What if I told you I like you?
Let's talk about all those things that we shouldn't talk about

Overall Meaning

The song "What If" by Johnny Orlando is a contemplative and introspective look at a relationship that is on the brink of change. The lyrics are about having the courage to express one's feelings to their significant other, even if it may lead to a potential breakup. The opening lines of the song are about those feelings that people keep bottled up inside them even when they know they shouldn't. The words that could change a relationship and perhaps in a negative way. The singer then asks whether the other person ever thinks about their relationship and considers whether he should express his feelings for fear of rejection.


The chorus is a series of 'what if' questions that represent different scenarios that could play out if he tells her that he likes her. He wonders if they will be together in the future or if they will lose everything they have built. He also questions his own sanity and whether he has misread the signs of their relationship. Through it all, he knows that he has to take the risk and tell her how he feels, regardless of the consequences. The bridge of the song, "I hear everything you saying, saying 'bout us. It's not about right or wrong, it's about what we love" suggests that he is open and willing to hear the other side and work on adding or rectifying anything for the relationship to work.


Overall, the song is a soulful plea for honesty in a relationship, and it's delivered with Johnny Orlando's trademark style of emotional intensity and depth.
