If You Will Have Me
Embracing Life's Dance: If You Will Have Me by Kaiser Chiefs
Lyrics
I don't know if you'll hear this song
I'm uncertain if you'll listen to this song
And if you do you might not know
If you hear it, you might not recognize
That is a tribute to the man who made
This is a tribute to the person shaping our world
Our world go around
Who plays a crucial role in our lives
I don't know if you'll hear this song
Uncertain if you'll hear this, but if you do, you're not alone
But if you do you're not alone
Dance and cry while you can as life goes on
So dance while you can and cry while you can
Encouraging to enjoy life's moments
Let the world go around
Let the world keep turning
And if you will have me
Expressing a desire to be accepted
I want to be the son that I was
Wishing to reclaim the identity of the past
And if you will have me
Aiming to be the person captured in a photograph
I want to be the boy from the photograph
Yearning for the simplicity of childhood
I miss the daily phone call
Missing the routine of daily phone calls
And I miss the good advice
Nostalgic for valuable advice
And my brother misses everything
Sibling longing for the absent figure
He's just looking for you
Brother actively searching for you
It's the longest tough goodbye
Describing the difficulty of saying goodbye
So many lows and no real highs
Life's challenges with few uplifting moments
Seems so little we can do
Feeling helpless, only catching glimpses of the person
Is see glimpses of you
Yearning to see more of the absent individual
And if you will have me
Reiteration of the desire for acceptance
I want to be the son that I was
Aspiring to reclaim a lost sense of self
And if you will have me
Seeking acceptance to return to a cherished past
I want to be the boy from the photograph
Yearning to embody the innocence captured in a photo
Can't fight, life
Emphasizing the inability to resist life's challenges
So dance while you can
An invitation to dance in the face of adversity
You can't fight, life
Reiteration of life's challenges, suggesting acceptance
So just dance while you can
Encouragement to dance despite life's difficulties
And if you will have me
Repeating the desire for acceptance and acknowledgment
I want to be the son that I was
Wanting to revert to the role of a son
And if you will have me
Expressing the wish to reclaim a lost identity
I want to be the boy from the photograph
Aiming to recapture the essence of a childhood photograph
And if you will have me
Reiteration of the longing for acceptance
I want to be the son that I was
Desire to return to the role of a son
And if you will have me
Aspiring to embody the boy from a cherished photograph
I want to be the boy from the photograph
Continued yearning for a past, symbolized by the photograph
