If Only

(album: Love And Other Crimes - 2016)

If only you and me could just be kids again
Back before I went to prison
Made all those decisions I'm known to regret
If only you and I could just go back in time
We could live across the street from each other
And go to the same Junior High

You could be my Winnie Cooper
You could be my girl
You could love me back this time
And we could share the whole wide world

Even if I had a time machine
Would I have what it would take
To really do anything differently
Or would I just repeat the same mistakes?

Cause I'm all alone and sometimes I feel
Like I'm not my own or even at the wheel
And I can't be blamed for mistakes that I remake
If only, oh if only

You could be my Winnie Cooper
You could be my girl
You could love me back this time
And we could share the whole wide world
Yeah, we could share the whole wide world
Yeah, we could share the whole wide world
Yeah, we could share the whole wide world
