If You Could

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

The day to day gets you feeling down

It's been a week since you went to town

It's getting late so why haven't you called your friends

Why haven't you made amends?

It's not the way that you saw your life

The one you love, she's not your wife

You only wanted to make your father proud

And buy your mom a new house

If you could do it again

How would you do it?

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it?

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You could have been a contender, man

You would have gathered a million fans

You might have taken a rocket to outer space

Had in your pocket the human race

I guess depends on what you expect

But either way you must accept

It's hard to stand by and see it all go so fast

Not easy watching the hero pass

If you could do it again

How would you do it?

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it?

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

If you could do it again

How would you do it?

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it?

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self?

But you know

Yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works
