|
If it was up to me, |
|
I'd never look both |
|
Ways before crossing the street |
|
If it was up to me, |
|
I'd never wear my |
|
Seatbelt, and |
|
I'd probably still speed |
|
If it was up to me, |
|
I never would have |
|
Smiled in any pictures |
|
I'd most likely sleep all day |
|
If I could just relax for awhile |
|
So you better come quick |
|
I'm about to do something foolish |
|
If you could be so kind |
|
As to call the police |
|
I swear this time |
|
It's not just for attention |
|
But I also know that you have heard that |
|
From me once before |
|
If it was up to you, |
|
I would never swear around people |
|
I'm supposed to respect |
|
If it was up to you, |
|
I'd keep in touch with |
|
Friends from the past |
|
Even though they never last |
|
If it was up to you, |
|
I'd always say my prayers before |
|
I ate And before |
|
I went to sleep |
|
If it was up to you, |
|
I'd be happy and |
|
I'd Write songs that made you happy too |
|
I can't seem to care much for these things |
|
That you call life |
|
So you better come quick |
|
I'm about to do something foolish |
|
If you could be so kind |
|
As to call the police |
|
I swear this time |
|
It's not just for attention |
|
I don't want the topic to change |
|
I couldn't ever tell you, to your face |
|
That I've only been pretending |
|
To enjoy this place |
|
It's all been make believe |
|
And it's mostly in my head |
|
The problem is we only guess |
|
Where we go when we finally rest |
|
Will it be better than where we are now |
|
Still I'd like to believe |
|
It's better than here |
|
Better than where we are |
|
Better than here |
|
We've forgotten what we're here for |
|
Or maybe we never knew |
|
If a simple life is what we want |
|
Why are we so confused? |
|
Cuz we all want a happy ending |
|
But we're tired of children's books |
|
We're tired of feeling useless |
|
And we're tired of dirty looks |
|
I swear we used to feel things |
|
Or at least we cried real tears |
|
We used to say |
|
I'm sorry |
|
But we haven't now for years |
|
So forgive us of our sins |
|
Before we make our move |
|
Let us die in peace |
|
So we never have to choose |
