If You Could

The day to day gets you feeling down

It's been a week since you went to town

It's getting late so why haven't you called your friends

Why haven't you made amends

It's not the way that you saw your life

The one you love, she's not your wife

You only wanted to make your father proud

And buy your mom a new house

If you could do it again

How would you do it

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You could have been a contender, man

You would have gathered a million fans

You might have taken a rocket to outer space

Had in your pocket the human race

I guess depends on what you expect

But either way you must accept

It's hard to stand by and see it all go so fast

Not easy watching the Heropass

If you could do it again

How would you do it

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

If you could do it again

How would you do it

Would you go back

And do what you never got round to

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

If you could be someone else

Would you do it

If you could choose from a shelf

Would you take a new self

But you know, yeah you know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works

You want to start it all over again, but yeah

You know that's not how it works
