    Lyrics:
    What if I just can’t discover
    What if I’m just taking too long
    Or I’m wrong, my vision is cluttered
    I’m stumbling on
    What if I just quit tomorrow
    What if I just tuck and run
    If there ain’t no line to follow
    Well how will you know
    What if I, Cant wait any longer
    But I’m scared of letting it show
    And of all this piled together
    The least is the most
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it
    Maybe the nights are sharp and cold
    Maybe it’s harder to see when you cannot believe
    When only half the cards are shown
    Maybe as time goes on together
    We’ll learn how to grow
    What if I can’t take the heartache
    What if I don’t want to know
    What if all I found was darkness leading to none
    Well come on, just leave the light on
    Give me air and clear the room
    Cause if I don’t find an answer
    I fear I’ll fold
    What if I, Cant wait any longer
    And I’m scared of letting it show
    And of all these piled together
    The least is the most
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it
    Maybe the nights are sharp and cold
    Maybe its harder to see what you cannot believe
    When only half the cards are shown
    Maybe as time goes on together we’ll learn how to grow
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it
    Maybe I’ll go on without it
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it
    Maybe I’ll go on without it
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it
    Maybe I’ll go on without it
    Maybe I’m all in and doubt it

    Noon, 5pm, 2am, doesn't matter...when the Night Sweats release music, I stop and listen.

      Take a look at amigo the devil, ben caplan, or the white buffalo. Personally I prefer their songs i need never get old, and s.o.b.. tejon street corner thieves starting to come up. Anyone have any great bands/individuals are their favorites?

    Just heard this on a local station. Thought it was legit a 70s song that I didn't know. Phone led me here. I was honestly fooled. I don't know who produced this or who this is,, but it could be straight out of 1974. Very, very impressed.

    The start of this is the same melody as "Genesis - That's All"
    When I heard it for the first time at Red Rocks, I swore I knew the sound. Had to wait for it to be released so I could hear it again and pin down what song it was.

    "what if i" is really & truly a marvelous song. it is superbly orchestrated! i love how it is showcasing Nathaniel's beautifully evolving voice, songwriting & composing skills and that every NRNS musician is mastering their craft! NRNS are just so unbelievably fantastic. "what if i", this just released original audio from their soon to be released album, plus "survivor" and "love don't" each make us go WOW! we've been around a long, long time. rock&roll, r&b, jazz, folk, country, bluegrass ... listening to the radio late at night ... hearing Murray the"k" play The Beatles first released song in the U.S. and going WOW ... so many others too along the way had the WOW ... NRNS have it! so many great songs from such a great band. their music gives us goose bumps and make us really want to dance like the wild kids we once were. their music has been such a beautiful bright light. all the love for NRNS for giving us that.
