Lyrics If I Could - Nicole Atkins

Why are we rushing everywhere
If it doesn't move you
Just 'cause you have places to go
That doesn't prove you
Can outrun your past
Wherever you go
That's where you are
So please, lay by my side
Don't say goodbye
If I (could)
Make you stay for a while
If I (could)
Make you stay for a while
Keep you far away from harm
Forever in my arms
I would
(If I could)
There is nothing that I can do
To change what is happening to you
If I knew the words to say
To make all your troubles go away
A way to live
A life to love
Whatever you dream, oh
Lay by my side
Don't say goodbye
If I (could)
Make you stay for a while
If I (could)
Make you stay for a while
Keep you far away from harm
Forever in my arms
I would
If I could
I would
I would
