If Only Is

New leaf on a tumtum tree
Shining green translucency so tiny
This leaf owed a dark cliché
That all my possibilities are fading

You can't afford to linger long
"If only" is the bitterest song
You can't go back, you must go on
"If only" is the bitterest song

You and I hiked up a hill
Feel the forest stretch their backs below us
It was then the Earth stood still
And every surface raised its voice in chorus

You can't afford to linger long
"If only" is the bitterest song
You can't go back; you must go on
"If only" is the bitterest song

You will need a paddle
To break against the side
Out onto the water
You will float
You will glide
