If... Lyrics

If you
Get out
Before September
Remember
That I'm
Still inside
But I'm dry
I'm dryAnd you
When you try
To make a difference
You're so different
And then I
Try
And just die
I dieYou know
That I need
You more than I want ya
But I want ya

For all time
So I
I guess on the lineIt's all that I can do
To sing these stupid songs to you
I give up half my time
Just trying to think up words that rhyme
I ain't getting any younger
But you wouldn't know
So it's on
With the showSometimes
A smoke
A drink and a ponder
Can work wonders
When you're down
Takes your frown
Turns it 'round
AroundAnd you
When you try
To make a difference
You're no different
Than when I
Try
And just die
I dieAnd now
That your day
Dream is forgotten
And forgiven
And the world
Has been saved
Be braveIt's all that I can do
To sing these stupid songs to you
I give up half my time
Just trying to think up words that rhyme
I ain't getting any younger
But you wouldn't know
'cause I walk
In shadow
And I never ever
Really show my face
But I'm only ever seen
In the right place
If you get out
Before September
Remember
That I'm
Still inside
But I'm dry
I'm dryAnd you
When you try
To make a difference
You're so different
And then I
Try
And just die
I dieYou know
That I need
You more than I want ya
But I want ya
For all time
So I
I guess on the lineIt's all that I can do
To sing these stupid songs to you
I give up half my time
Just trying to think up words that rhyme
I ain't getting any younger
But you wouldn't know
So it's on
With the showSometimes
A smoke
A drink and a ponder
Can work wonders
When you're down
Takes your frown
Turns it 'round
AroundAnd you
When you try
To make a difference
You're no different
Than when I

That your day
Dream is forgotten

And the world

Be braveIt's all that I can do
To sing these stupid songs to you

Just trying to think up words that rhyme
I ain't getting any younger
But you wouldn't know
'Cause I walk
In shadow
And I never ever
Really show my face
But I'm only ever seen
In the right place
