If I
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I said I love you would you love me back
I just want your love i want the strings attached
Girl I’ll break my spine for you to see
That ima love you how you love me back
And if I fall would you let me
Or better yet, baby is you falling with me
Why does love always give a nigga heart attacks
Why does love always make me feel empty
I’m dead inside but I’m still holding on
Never did you right but you still loved me strong
Stood by my side even when I was gone
Had to face my pride and tell it move along
Cuz I was blinded by the darkness couldn’t stay true
And I was young, I was dumb, but that’s no excuse
I can’t imagine all the pain that I put you through
I’m sorry that it took this long for me to love you
I’m dead now baby don’t cry for me
I wish this never had to end but let me Rest In Peace
And you know I’ll always guide you yeah wherever you’ll be
And when you fall apart just close your eyes and channel for me
I’ll put you back together when you feel like you’re in pieces
Life goes on baby you still have a meaning
Gotta stay strong even when you lost your feelings
If you feel alone just look up and I’ll give you healing
And if I fall would you let me
Or better yet, baby is you falling with me
Why does love always give a nigga heart attacks
Why does love always make me feel empty
I’m dead inside but I’m still holding on
Never did you right but you still loved me strong




Stood by my side even when I was gone
Had to face my pride and tell it move along

Wolf Larsen - If I Be Wrong...

What if I’m wrong, what if I’ve lied
What if I’ve dragged you here to my own dark night
And what if I know, what if I see
There is a crack run right down the front of me

What if they’re right, what if we’re wrong
What if I’ve lured you here with a siren song?

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you tonight

Ten thousand cars, ten thousand trains
There are ten thousand roads to run away

But I am not lost, I am not found
I am not Dylan’s wife, not Cohen’s hound

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you tonight

And what if I can’t, what if I can
What if I’m just an ordinary man

If there is a will, there is a way
I will escape for sure, I am David Blane

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you
If I be wrong, if I be right
Let me stay here in your arms tonight
And I have been wrong, I have been right
I have been both these things all in the same night
So if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me here, with you, tonight.

this song is just amazing thank you for everything; In the realm of doubt, where shadows play,
My heart reveals what words cannot convey.
What if I've erred, what if I've strayed,
Yet still, I've drawn you close, unafraid.

Within my soul, cracks may gently trace,
But in your eyes, I find a sacred space.
What if they're right, what if we're wrong,
Yet your presence sings a mesmerizing song.

In the realm of truth, if I be wrong or right,
Let me bask in your love's soothing light.
A myriad of paths, countless ways to flee,
But I'm not lost, for you've anchored me.

I'm not a muse to Dylan or Cohen's kin,
Just an ordinary soul, longing to begin.
If there's a will, a path will come to sight,
I'm David Blane, escaping the dark night.

Yet if I falter, if I'm led astray,
Let me find solace in your arms today.
In my flaws and triumphs, a dance we weave,
Together, in this moment, let's never leave.

For I've known wrong, I've tasted right,
Both reside within me through the darkest night.
So if I stumble, uncertain in my plight,
Let me be here, with you, till morning's light.

In the realm of love, where doubts take flight,
I find solace, strength, and pure delight.
For in your embrace, my heart finds its home,
If I be wrong, if I be right, I'll never roam.
