about

"WHAT IF" is a smoldering, sexy track that draws influence from R&B and trip hop in addition to Blue Nagoon's usual 80s and 90s inspirations. This one features a scorching vocal by Salissa Thole, who you may know from Nagoon songs "Hinterlands" and "Last Ice Falls."

lyrics

You send me photos, play little games
I want more but you won't give it casually

You have a life in the background
but I won't let you live it for want of me

You pull from deep inside me unspeakable hunger
I don't know how deep this goes
I can't hear any of the warnings
for all of your thunder
where it will strike I don't know

What if once I have you I don't want you anymore?

These missed connections in hotel bars
buy me drinks but I don’t want 'em
gotta keep my head clear

I walk a tightrope held up by tension
a dawning comprehension
and a cocktail of fear

We thought we needed a moment
when the stars would align
when the moon blocks out the sun
I'm trapped in the dark but I can see inbetween the lines
I know that I should run

What if once I have you I don't want you anymore?

tempt me, leave me empty
then resent me in the morning
when it turns out the was nothing underneath
