If Only
Crunchy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I′m starin' at the phone
Stayin′ here at home all weekend

I could have been with you
Instead I got the flu, I'm freakin'

I don′t mind that you don′t love me
And I'll admit that I hate it

After all we all get lonely
As we fall we say if only

Well I could have been the one
Having′ all the fun, you tell me

Dreams don't all come true
Future′s turning' blue, please help me





I don′t mind this obscurity
And I'll admit that I hate it

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Crunchy's song If Only are a reflection of the sentiments of unrequited love and how it feels to miss out on an opportunity to be with someone you have feelings for. The opening lines, "Well I'm starin' at the phone, Stayin' here at home all weekend, I could have been with you, Instead I got the flu, I'm freakin'" speak to the feelings of regret that arise from missed opportunities, with the singer stuck at home feeling ill instead of being with the object of their affections.


Throughout the song, Crunchy is admitting to the pain and loneliness of loving someone who doesn't love them back. The lines "I don't mind that you don't love me, And I'll admit that I hate it" shows the singer's resilience in accepting that the love they feel is not going to be reciprocated. This is also evidenced in the line "Well I could have been the one, Having' all the fun, you tell me, Dreams don't all come true, Future's turning' blue, please help me", highlighting the idea that the singer knows they could have had something amazing with their love interest, but instead are left with a bleak future and a sense of longing.


As the song comes to an end, the line "I don't mind this obscurity, And I'll admit that I hate it" leaves the listener with a somewhat contradictory feeling. While the singer is content with the obscurity of their love, they still hate the feeling of loneliness that comes with it. The song overall is relatable to anyone who has had unrequited love, and the singer's acceptance of the situation may bring comfort to those going through a similar experience.
