If Only

I woke at dawn, sleep in my eyes
I saw the scratches in the sky
I saw the sun and kissed the moon
I saw the world and I saw you
Before the rumble of the day
Came into view
I sat and thought of my dreams
I sat and thought of life and you
I felt the structure of the day
In the distance was a sound
At first I thought it was the sea
But then I realized
If only there was you
If only there was me
How simple it would be
No more liars, no more cheats
No more plagiarizing thieves
Cashing in on hollow lives
No more anger in the soul
Imitation rock 'n' roll
Nothing is new, only forgotten
No more heroes, they're all dead
No more bullets in the head
No more children asking why
Did my daddy have to die?
If only there was you
If only there was me
How simple it would be
No more liars, no more cheats
No more plagiarizing thieves
Cashing in on hollow lives
No more executive decisions to be made
No more fat cats, they've all had their day
The expense account like the limos and the big ass, they've all gone
If only there was you
If only there was me
How simple it would be
If only there was you
If only there was me
How simple it would be
If only there was you
If only there was me
How simple life would be
No more liars, no more cheats
No more plagiarizing thieves
Cashing in on hollow lives
