If I Could Choose
Embracing Imperfections: If I Could Choose by The Shivas
Lyrics
If I could choose anything to be
If I had the ability to select anything for myself
I’d only wanna be me
I would solely prefer to be myself
If I could choose anything to do
If given the choice of any activity
I’d just spend all my time with you
I would choose to spend all my time with you
Sure that I can’t sure that I can
I'm confident that I cannot be certain
So sure the ocean won’t swallow up the land
Expressing strong confidence that the ocean will not engulf the land
So sure my line won’t break up the band
Confident that personal actions won't cause the dissolution of the band
I’ve cursed us all an evil hand
Feeling as if fate or circumstance has brought misfortune upon everyone
Just shows that nothing goes as planned
Recognizing that things often do not unfold as anticipated
Hold on, you’re gonna love me when I’m gone
A message to hold onto the idea of loving the person after they've departed
Hold on, I can feel it coming on strong
Anticipating a strong feeling or event in the near future
If I could choose anything to be
If given the opportunity to become anything
I’d only wanna be me
I would still choose to remain myself
If I could choose anything in the world to do
If allowed any activity in the world
I’d just spend all my time with you
I would opt to spend all my time with you
Sure that I can’t sure that I can
I'm certain that I cannot be certain
So sure the ocean won’t swallow up the land
Strongly convinced that the ocean won’t engulf the land
So sure my line won’t break up the band
Confident that personal actions won't lead to the band's breakup
I’ve cursed us all an evil hand
Feeling as if a malevolent force has affected everyone
Just shows that nothing goes as planned
Emphasizing the unpredictability of events contrary to plans
Hold on, you’re gonna love me when I’m gone
An encouragement to hold onto the belief that love will be realized after departure
Hold on, I can feel it coming on
Sensing or expecting a forthcoming strong occurrence
