I.

Could be right.
Could be magic.
Could be wrong.

Could be anything.
Could not care less.
Could’ve gone mad.

Could have been me.
Could have been you.
Could it happen here?

Could I take a chance?
Could I ever leave you?
Could it be any harder?

II.

Would you believe it?
Would you marry me?
Would I ever lie to you?

Would like to meet you.
Would be a dragonslayer.
Would Jesus wear a watch?

Would you think of suicide?
Would you change anything?
Would you fight for our lives?

Would you hold it against me?
Would you catch a falling star?
Would next week work for you?

III.

Should I stay or go?
Should we be silent?
Should a woman pay?

Should we laugh or cry?
Should I worry about it?
Should have gone to bed!

Should we tell them now?
Should have known better!
Should women walk alone?

Should have seen it coming!
Should the Bible be banned?
Should married men behave?

IV.

So little time left for answers.
