If
Embracing Life's 'Ifs': A Musical Odyssey of Love and Possibilities
Lyrics
If there were 61 seconds in a minute
If time were different, with more seconds per minute
I'd find a way in which to live it
I'd make the most of every moment
If there were 61 minutes in an hour
If hours were longer, giving extra time
I'd use that time to get you some flowers
I'd use it to show my affection, perhaps by getting flowers
If there were 25 hours in a day
If days were extended, offering an additional hour
I'd use that extra hour to play
I'd use that time to pursue my passions, like playing my guitar for you
My guitar for you
Dedicating myself to creating music for your enjoyment
If we never met that day
If our paths hadn't crossed on that specific day
If I wasn't in the grey
If I hadn't been feeling lost or uncertain
If I never wrote any song
If I hadn't expressed myself through songs
If I knew what's right and what's wrong
If I possessed absolute clarity about right and wrong
If I changed my point of view
If my perspective on life had been different
If I could I surely would
If it were possible, I'd certainly make changes
But the biggest "if" of them all
However, the most significant uncertainty
Is if you really want this at all
Rests in whether you truly desire this relationship
If there were 32 days in October
If October had more days
Would we rather spend them drunk or sober?
Would we spend that extra time intoxicated or sober?
If there were 13 months in a year
If the year had an additional month
Would we forget the seasons and all we hold dear?
Would we forsake the cycles of nature and our cherished values?
If there were 11 years in a decade
If decades were longer
We'd have more time to let our scars fade
We'd have more opportunities to heal and recover from our wounds
Away forever (forever)
To let our pain fade away permanently
If we never met that day
Reflecting on the possibility of never crossing paths
If I wasn't in the grey
Or if I hadn't been struggling emotionally
If I never wrote any song
If I hadn't expressed myself through music
If I knew what's right and what's wrong
If I had absolute moral certainty
If I changed my point of view
If my perspective had been different
If I could I surely would
If changes were possible, I'd make them
But the biggest "if" of them all
Yet, the most crucial uncertainty remains
Is if you really want this at all
Whether your desire for this relationship is genuine
But the biggest "if" of them all
Reiterating the primary uncertainty
Is if you really want this at all
Emphasizing the pivotal question of your true intentions
