If Only
The River Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you only knew
There is no one but you
If you could just see
Its not raining, you're free

You say no words
Don't call, it hurts
And I know we'll rise

Don't come to me
And say you don't believe
Don't come to me
And say its all too late
I won't buy it, no way

If you didn't hate
This mild fate
We could celebrate
Whats not ours yet, but late

You say no words
Don't call, it hurts
And I know we'll rise

Don't come to me
And say you don't believe
Don't come to me




And say its all too late
I won't buy it, no way

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The River's song "If Only" convey a sense of longing and frustration in a relationship where one person feels misunderstood and unappreciated. The singer starts by expressing the desire for the other person to truly understand their feelings, acknowledging that there is no one else but them in their heart. They wish for their partner to see that despite the difficulties they face, it is not raining and they are free from the burdens that weigh them down.


The second verse reveals the pain caused by the other person's lack of communication, as they refuse to speak and it hurts the singer deeply. Despite this, there is still hope for a brighter future, as the lyrics claim "and I know we'll rise." The chorus emphasizes the plea for the other person not to come back and deny the love and faith they once had, not to say that they don't believe or that it's too late. The singer refuses to accept these excuses, declaring that they won't buy into the idea that their love is lost forever.


Overall, "If Only" captures the conflicting emotions of love and frustration in a troubled relationship. The lyrics touch upon themes of longing, communication breakdown, and resilience, highlighting the yearning for understanding and the refusal to give up on love.
