If Only
Yxl Lyrics

If only I could, yeah
Expressing a desire to have the ability to do something

How I feel right now, yeah, yeah
Describing the current emotions experienced

Oh if only I had known the things that I know now
Regretting a lack of knowledge in the past and valuing present understanding

I'd enjoy every moment and just slow down
Choosing to savor and appreciate each experience and take a more relaxed approach

If only I could turn the time back somehow
Expressing a wish to go back in time and change past actions or decisions

I'd realize the good times and I'd have no doubt
Recognizing the positive experiences and feeling more confident

It's so fast
Highlighting the rapidity of time passing

It's like you blink and years pass
Comparing the speed of time to how quickly a blink occurs

You forget the friends that you had
Forgetting about past friendships due to the passage of time

I'm feeling down down down
Expressing a state of sadness or low mood

'Cause I'm feeling stuck and doing nothing
Feeling trapped and unproductive

While the world is going round round round
Observing that life and events continue to move forward

Yeah and all my friends
Referring to personal acquaintances

They'll be rolling in a Benz
Imagining friends achieving financial success and luxury

Yea I'll get there someday
Expressing confidence in achieving success

Will I ever justify the ends
Reflecting on whether the desired outcomes will be worth the effort

But what's the point of stressing over
Questioning the purpose of excessive worry or anxiety

Something we've no knowing of
Highlighting the futility of worrying about uncertain outcomes

I just gotta keep moving on
Emphasizing the importance of continuous progress

Making sure I'm having fun
Prioritizing enjoyment and happiness

Learning from my rights and wrongs
Using past experiences as lessons for personal growth

You know we gon' get it done
Expressing confidence in accomplishing goals

Every day til I pass away
Committing to making the most of each day until death

Imma make the most of what I have today
Optimizing the present circumstances and resources

So I don't have to say that my past mistakes
Avoiding the need to acknowledge past errors

Are all actively after me
Escaping the consequences and negative influence of past mistakes

'Cause when I look back at my life
Reflecting upon personal history

There were so many moments that passed me by
Realizing missed opportunities and experiences

Like a flash of light, nah that can't be right
Comparing the swiftness of missed moments to a quick burst of light and expressing disbelief

Shoulda known to enjoy all the random nights
Recognizing the importance of cherishing spontaneous and unpredictable experiences

The good, the bad, the laughs, the fights
Acknowledging the range of experiences encompassing both positive and negative aspects

The vast amount of times I would like to
Expressing a desire to revisit numerous past occasions

Take it back and make it right so
Wishing for the chance to correct past actions or outcomes

I can say my life is amazing right now
Appreciating the current state of life as wonderful

Never be afraid to say how you feel
Encouraging open and honest expression of emotions

What's the point of love if always concealed
Questioning the purpose of hiding or suppressing feelings in romantic relationships

Never too late to make a change
Emphasizing the possibility of positive transformation at any time

Don't stay the same or you'll spend your days saying
Advising against stagnation, as it leads to regret

Take it slow
Encouraging a relaxed and patient approach

You don't know what the future holds
Highlighting the uncertainty of future circumstances

You got goals to get but still got time to go and grow
Acknowledging personal aspirations and the potential for personal development

Enjoy the moment, for a moment
Urging to appreciate the present moment as it may not last long

'Cause soon enough you'll know
Implying that future experiences will bring increased understanding

Why nobody wants to get old
Reflecting on the aversion towards aging and its potential limitations

Reminiscent on a distant past, I miss it
Longing for a faraway past and feeling nostalgic

Damn I'm wishing
Expressing a strong desire or longing

I could visit my old self
Expressing a wish to offer advice or guidance to one's past self

And tell that kid to listen
Encouraging the younger version of oneself to be receptive to guidance

Take some chances, be more optimistic
Advocating for embracing opportunities and having a positive outlook

Make sure you're consistent
Highlighting the importance of being steadfast and reliable

This is your first life, just live it
Recognizing the preciousness of life and the need to fully experience it

If you blink you might just miss it
Warning that life can pass by quickly if one fails to pay attention

Oh I'm glad that I know all the things that I know now
Expressing satisfaction with present knowledge and wisdom

I'll enjoy every moment and just slow down
Committing to savoring and appreciating each experience while adopting a more relaxed pace

I know that I can't turn the time back somehow
Acknowledging the impossibility of altering past events

I'll realize the good times and I'll have no doubt
Recognizing the value of positive experiences and feeling confident in that understanding

Take it slow
Emphasizing the importance of a leisurely approach

You don't know what the future holds
Highlighting the uncertainty of future circumstances

You got goals to get but still got time to go and grow
Acknowledging personal aspirations and the potential for personal development

Enjoy the moment, for a moment
Urging to appreciate the present moment as it may not last long

'Cause soon enough you'll know
Implying that future experiences will bring increased understanding

Why nobody wants to get old
Reflecting on the aversion towards aging and its potential limitations

It's so fast
Highlighting the rapidity of time passing

It's like you blink and years pass
Comparing the speed of time to how quickly a blink occurs

You forget the friends that you had
Forgetting about past friendships due to the passage of time

Oh I'm glad that I know all the things that I know now
Expressing satisfaction with present knowledge and wisdom

I'll enjoy every moment and just slow down
Committing to savoring and appreciating each experience while adopting a more relaxed pace
