If Only Songtext
von Void Contact

Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
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
It always been the same old story
No allegories
Just keep it simple here
Do-do-do-do
If only I could lose as much weight as I 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 of my flaws
If only I could fight for some noble cause
Then maybe I could finally impress the in-laws
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-only's for any God to hear
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
So many regrets so little time
How will I get around this mountain of my own design
If only I could see the me that everybody sees
If only I could teach myself 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
It's always been the same old story
No allegories I fear
(It′s way too simple here)
No revelations are to be forthcoming
The truth is becoming clear
(So give a hearty cheer)
It seems we choose to always be so lonely
Too many if-only′s For any god to hear
(Do do do do do do do do) Repeat
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)
If only it will never end (If only)
If only I could speak Chinese (If only)
If only I could wipe out all disease (If only)
(If only I only could never be lonely) Repeat
