Ifs


If you’re a dream I don’t wanna wake up

If you’re a miracle I wanna believe

If you’re a book, I wanna read

If you’re a promise, I wanna keep

If you’re history, I wanna repeat

If you’re a chance, I wanna leap

If you’re a flower, I wanna reap

If you’re a holiday, you’re Christmas Eve

If you’re a reason, I don’t wanna leave

If you’re a prison, I don’t wanna be free

If you’re a lock, I wanna find the key

If you’re the mountains, I wanna climb

If you’re the ocean I wanna dive

If you’re a song I wanna rhyme

If you’re a punishment, I wanna commit a crime

If you’re gonna end, I don’t wanna keep track of time

If you’re poetry, I don’t wanna get to the end of the line

If you’re a sentence, the period is something I don’t wanna find

If I’m a tear you’re my sleeve

If I’m a heart you’re my beat

If I’m a cut, you’re my remedy

If I’m the harmony, you’re my melody

If I’m a cloud, you’re heavenly

If you’re a dream, this is surreal

If you’re a jewel, I wanna steal
