If I Could
by Red Roots

Album: Triplicity

We used to laugh till we cried
Stayed up to watch the sun rise
Sing with the radio on at the top of our lungs

Nothing could tear us apart
Even though the same boy stole our hearts
Life was waiting for us innocent and young

Then the world came in and swept you away
And I had to watch you drift on the waves

If I could then I would come to your side
If I could then I would Wipe the tears from your eyes
Be your closest friend
If I could then I would

I wish that things hadn't changed
And we could still dream of our wedding days
But you think I'm spoiling your fun I used to be enough

I just can't stand by and watch
You leave every truth for what don't matter much
I know it sound crazy but I'm standing my ground in love

Since the world came in and swept you away
I'm so tired of watching you drift on the waves

If I could then I would come to your side
If I could then I would Wipe the tears from your eyes
Be your closest friend
If I could then I would heal your brokenness
If I could then I would take all of your regrets
Pull you close again

If I could then I would
Turn back the hands of time
Make up for the moments when nothing went right
Pick up the pieces of your heart
Give you a brand new start

If I could then I would come to your side
If I could then I would Wipe the tears from your eyes
Be your closest friend
Jesus can

If I could then I would -- heal your brokenness
If I could then I would -- take all of your regrets
Pull you close again
If I could then I would
Jesus can, Jesus can, Jesus can!
