If Only
Le Youth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can't tell how long I've waited in the car
Engine off and laying low
Play out every outcome to excess
Afraid of getting out

Morning breaks from pieces of a dream
Ignorance is bliss, yeah
If only I didn't check my phone
If only
If only
If only
If only





If

The feeling of being entrapped, uncertain, and confused is further emphasized through the lyrics that speak of how morning breaks from pieces of a dream, and how ignorance is bliss.

I can't explain it. The sound of this one, it takes me back to when I was maybe 15, walking into the Chicago Museum of Art. Yeah that day wasn't the best due to reasons, but some moments still hold dear to my heart, and how I wish I could visit there again.
