If I
Harry-O Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things that I've forgotten to say
And every time I see you the words don't come out right
It's just a stupid game that I play
(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true if I had you
I've been holding on for what feels like forever
I can't seem to let it all go
Picking up the pieces that we put together
Learning things we already know
(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true
But something else is going on I can't see right through
I don't know if it's right or wrong
I don't know what to do
And I can't stop your eyes from saying things we always knew
So look at me and tell me what to do
(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true
(If I had you) I'd know all the answers
(If I had you) the questions wouldn't even matter
I've been living a lifetime I'm dying to know if it's true
If I had you

I have clung onto this longing for an indefinite period of time
I can't seem to let it all go
I find myself incapable of releasing these emotions
Picking up the pieces that we put together
Attempting to salvage and reconstruct the fragments of our connection

My entire existence has been consumed by the desire to uncover the veracity of these emotions
