If I could I would sit in my room
probably on the floor
just listening to the wind and rain
hitting the window’s screen

If I could I would rest all day
but I would not sleep
because even though I like when I dream
I don't like opening my eyes with it all gone

If I could I would let it go
but it can’t be easily forgotten
I won’t say you can’t understand
but it’s hard to think someone else feels this way

If I could I would tell you
I would say how you mean to me
but also how your words hurt
I apologize so I won't lose my best friend

If I could I would make you feel
the way I do when you shoot me down
just for a second so you understand what you do
even if it was unintentional

If I could I would keep you here forever
and hope you don't get tired of me
because if I had to have anyone in my life that long
it would be you from the start
