If Only

Open my eyes it's 7am
There's a note laying on your side of the bed
Was it something I did? Something I said?
Was I using my heart in spite of my head?
Oooh, oooh, oooh
The shades are down to keep out the Sun
I'm playing the songs that we used to love
I fit my life in a paper cup, I got an empty glass
I wanna fill it up with
You, you, you
But the world's passin' by and, I'm stuck inside
And I just want the chance to change your mind
If only I could feel your heart beat close to mine
If only I could touch your body one more time
Spend another night with you
If only I could make you take back your goodbye
I saw you last night you went out with your friend
I couldn't believe he was holding your hand
I turned away because I gotta pretend
That I might just win you back again
Oooh, oooh, oooh
But the world's passin' by and, I'm stuck inside
And I just want the chance to change your mind
If only I could feel your heart beat close to mine
If only I could touch your body one more time
Spend another night with you
If only I could make you take back your goodbye
But the world's passin' by and, I'm stuck inside
And I just want the chance to change your mind
If only I could feel your heart beat close to mine
If only I could touch your body one more time
Spend another night with you
If only I could make you take back your goodbye
If only I could feel your heart beat close to mine
If only I could touch your body one more time
Spend another night with you
If only I could make you take back your goodbye
If only I could make you take back your goodbye
