lyrics

Verse 1
If only I could sleep in each day of the week
If only I could learn to turn the other cheek
If only I could find it in myself to dress oh so chic
If only I could make myself watch the nightly news
If only I could take a walk in everybody’s shoes
Then maybe I could find a cure for all the world’s blues

Chorus 1
It’s always been the same old story
No allegories; just keep it simple here

Verse 2
If only I could lose as much weight as I would like to lose
If only I could get out of paying my dues
If only I could never ever have to schmooze
If only I could just erase all my flaws
If only I could fight for some noble cause
Then maybe I could finally impress the in-laws

Chorus 2
It’s always been the same old story
No allegories I fear
(Just keep it simple here)
It seems we choose to always be so lonely
too many “If onlys” for any god to hear

Bridge
So many regrets
so little time
How will I get around
this mountain of my own design

Verse 3
If only I could see the me that everyone sees
If only I’d remember to always say please
If only I could always feel the ocean breeze
If only I could have steak every single night
If only I could be a hero and win every fight
Then maybe I could take all the wrongs and make them right

Chorus 3
It’s always been the same old story
No allegories I fear
(It’s way too simple here)
No revelations are to be forthcoming
(still) the truth is becoming clear
(so give a hearty cheer)
It seems we choose to always be so lonely
too many “If onlys” for any god to hear

Outtro
If only I could learn to fly
(If only)
If only I’d never have to try
(If only)
If only I could know the truth
(If only)
If only I could find the proof
(If only)
If only I could find a friend (If only I only could never be lonely)
(If only) (If only I only could never be lonely)
If only it will never end (If only I only could never be lonely)
(If only) (If only I only could never be lonely)
If only I could speak Chinese (If only I only could never be lonely)
(If only) (If only I only could never be lonely)
If only I could wipe out all disease (If only I only could never be lonely)
(If only) (If only I only could never be lonely)
