From the recording Shocking Revelations
Lyrics
If Only I Could
Maybe someone will make me trip, fall and sink
but I’m not really on the brink I think
I’m high, I fly, I soar above
If only I could fall in love
Happy people wearing a misguided grin
with the bastard result of their casual sin
no one really knows in life what’s wrong or right
In a crowded bar I hide in plain sight
Beer bottle’s company and a cigarette’s kiss
I’ve always preferred to romantic bliss
you point out examples that it isn’t true
Ain’t nothing but exceptions that prove the rule
Women are fun I’ve found
but I’ll look around
for something quicker
Like quenching my lust for liquor
Maybe someone will make me trip, fall and sink
but I’m not really on the brink I think
I’m high, I fly, I soar above
If only I could fall in love
The world is almost as big as it’s pointless
Sure I admit, it’s not all darkness
It’s wonderful to forget, truer words were never spoken
But sooner or later you’ll be hungover or heartbroken
Women are fun I’ve found
but I’ll look around
for something quicker
Like quenching my lust for liquor
Maybe someone will make me trip, fall and sink
but I’m not really on the brink I think
I’m high, I fly, I soar above
If only I could fall in love
