If Only

(album: Tilt - 1999)

A joke is not a joke
It's serious stuff
'Till it's laughed at
This moment's not the past
It's nothing at all 'till I say that

Angel throw me a line
It's about time
It's about time
Never too late
I will escape
I just can't wait

Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry
Don't tell me that you're lonely you're lonely
Remembering the who, how and why
Don't tell I'm your only
If only

The glitter and the gloom
I catch a glimpse of you in the room
Dollar bills for dreams
Nothing round here's quite what it seems

Angel throw me a line
It's about time
It's about time
Never too late
I will escape
I just can't wait

Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry
Don't tell me that you're lonely you're lonely
Remembering the who, how and why
Don't tell me I'm your only
If only

If I could feel it
If only
If I could mean it
If only

Don't tell me there's no tears left to cry
Don't tell me that you're lonely you're lonely
Remembering the who, how and why
Don't tell me I'm your only
If only

If I could feel it
If only
If I could mean it
If only

It's about time...
If only...
