If Only
If only you were closer, then I'd see you every day
If only I were a toaster, I'd heat your heart in a painful way
If only distance wasn't a factor, then we could run and scream and play

If only weather didn't keep us apart, then we'd see all the stars
If only whether or not I knew you'd stay, then these bars would not hold me back
If only I knew what you're feeling, then I'd try to understand
If only we could understand...
If only I could understand...
If only us...
