[Verse 1]
Score one for the next of man, he's had his day
And now he stands, with open hands and nothing sensible to say
She's gone, doing what she pleases
Now his world has crashed in seconds flat, he's down on his knees
[Chorus]
If only the words came easily
If only the gods would rescue me, yeah
[Verse 2]
Right or wrong, I cannot help but feel
That if I could find a way to stop the hands of time
To stop the earth from going round and round
Then maybe I could change your mind and make you stay
[Chorus]
If only the worlds came easily
If only the gods would rescue me
If only I could be a man who holds his ground
If only I could laugh and get away from spinning on this merry go round
[Bridge]
I'd give up peacefully, I'd do it in a flash
Oh, I'd say goodbye and walk away
But when the heavens rip apart
And send a sign to us that it's meant to be, it's meant to be
[Chorus]
(If only) to live life wondering what could've been
(If only) To live life dreaming what should've been
(If only) How perfect everything was gonna be
[Post-Chorus]
If only I could laugh and walk away
If only I could stop and let it be, yeah
If I'd never seen your face
I could just return to yesterday
If only I could fly away
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Yeah (if only) to live life wondering what could've been
(If only) To live life dreaming what should've been
(If only) How perfect everything was gonna be
[Post-Chorus]
If only I could laugh and walk away
If only I could stop and let it be, yeah
If I'd never seen your face
I could just return to yesterday
If only I could fly away
