If Only
Eva & Manu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Next time I won't mess it up
Next time I'll be all yours
Every hesitation I ever had
I've thrown out the door
And I know I'm just being silly
You said your peace years ago
But a dweller's gonna dwell
On what she already knows

Cause I would fly across the world
If only if only you wanted me too
Cause I would break off all my affairs
If only if only you wanted me too

And I guess it's fair
All the time I made you wait
It's only right I feel it too
But on the other side
Can you receive all my pent up love for you
Cause girl I'd say that I would only wait
For you so long
But the more time that I'm not with you
The more sure it's with you I belong, belong

Cause I would fly across the world
If only if only you wanted me too
Cause I would break off all my affairs
If only if only you wanted me too

If, if only
If, if only

Cause I would fly across the world
If only if only you wanted me too
Cause I would break off all my affairs




If only if only you wanted me too
If you wanted me

Next time I won't mess it up
In the future, I will make sure not to make any mistakes in our relationship


Next time I'll be all yours
Next time, I will fully commit myself to you


Every hesitation I ever had
All the doubts and uncertainties I've had in the past


I've thrown out the door
I have decided to let go of those hesitations and leave them behind


And I know I'm just being silly
I understand that my worries may seem irrational


You said your peace years ago
You have already expressed your feelings and thoughts a long time ago


But a dweller's gonna dwell
However, a person who tends to overthink will continue to reflect on what she already knows


On what she already knows

But on the other side
However, from a different perspective


Can you receive all my pent up love for you
Are you able to accept and embrace all of the love I have been holding back for you


Cause girl I'd say that I would only wait
Because I would claim that I could only wait


For you so long
For such a considerable amount of time

However, the longer I spend without you


The more sure it's with you I belong, belong
The more certain I become that I truly belong with you

If, oh if only

on Stars

Have my eyes in the sky,
Looking out for a sign,
You said a Moon won't lie,
The stars will never leave our sky,
The stars will never leave our... sky

We'll meet some kind of help,
Someone with we can rest,
We skared to never feel that safe again,
Can someone hold my hands,
And I wish she said:

Son, you know, things might change,
And I'm never ever be the same,
But you'll be fine, we'll all be fine,
Give me time

Bokudanei molpasei,
Mojuneryuan nooblee-ey,
Mosete dimo rjosheji,
Eplo tuju lgute muren

Vitetke Ju Too compronra,
Tosizenei je monki de tua,
Somun ne bur do teppira,
Denuvo mu bliira,
Yarjam Plu sketaemua

Son, you know, things might change,
And I'm never ever be the same,
But you'll be fine, we'll all be fine,
Son, you know, things might change,
And I'm never ever be the same,
But you'll be fine, we'll all be fine,
Give me time
