If Only
Wesley Stromberg & Alek Fin Lyrics

I wish it could be only you and me
Expressing a desire for exclusivity in a romantic relationship.

Forever we'd run away
Longing for a life of escape and freedom, rather than staying put.

Layin on a beach loving so easy
Describing a peaceful and contented state of being, free from worry and stress.

In your perfect hide away
Referring to a perfect location or place of refuge, away from the complications of life.

If only
Expressing a wish for something that's currently out of reach or impossible to attain.

If only
Repeating the desire for a certain outcome that's unlikely to happen.

If only
Continuing to express a yearning for what cannot be achieved in the current situation.

If only
Emphasizing the unlikelihood of an ideal outcome coming to fruition.

I know that you're tired
Acknowledging the difficulties faced by the other person in the relationship.

Holding all the pain
The other person is carrying an emotional burden or dealing with a difficult circumstance.

I watch you as you drive away
The sense of loss and detachment as the other person leaves or ends the relationship.

We both know we tried
Acknowledging the effort put into the relationship by both parties, but not enough to make it work.

Take it day by day
Suggesting a need to slow down and take things one step at a time, in order to improve the situation.

If only had another way
Repeating the desire to find an alternative solution to the problem at hand.

Can’t provide what you're all about
Feeling inadequate or unable to fulfill the needs and desires of the other person in the relationship.

Sick of all the hammy downs
Frustrated with always being given second-hand items, rather than having the means to purchase quality items.

Carpet stains and a ripped up couch
Describing a living situation that's less than desirable, with worn and damaged furnishings.

I pray for rain to save me from this drought
Wishing for a life-giving force to bring relief from a difficult situation.

You say that I stress you out
Being told by the other person that they feel overwhelmed or anxious due to one's behavior or actions.

Can't take hurtful things you shout
Feeling unable to handle the angry or negative outbursts of the other person in the relationship.

No one wins in this knock out
Recognizing the lack of a positive outcome for either person in the current situation.

It's so loud in this silent house
Describing the tension or conflict present in the relationship, even in moments of quiet or peace.

If only
Reiterating the desire for a change in the current situation.

If only
Repeating the sentiment that things could be better if a certain outcome were to occur.

If only
Expressing a belief that the ideal outcome is just out of reach, but still possible.

If only
Emphasizing the desire for the ideal outcome, even if it's unlikely to happen.

If only we had the money
Attributing the problems of the relationship to a lack of financial resources.

If only we had the nice things
Reiterating the belief that material possessions would improve the relationship or one's quality of life.

If only then we'd be happy
Expressing the belief that one's happiness is contingent upon a certain outcome or set of circumstances.

If only then you'd stay with me
Believing that a change in the current situation would result in the other person staying in the relationship.
