lyrics

If I could show what I was talking about
And if you could know what I just can't live without
And if you could see all that I want you to see
And if I could be all that you want me to be

If I could go on with the twist and shout
And if I could show never a shadow of doubt
Then I could try wearing my shoes to the throne
And I could lie all of the way back home

But if I should hide, trying to play right along
And you decide there was a hole in my song
Well you know that was no good for you and me
You know it was never really meant to be

And if I run, where would I end up
Now that I've begun wondering why
And how could I ever look into your eyes my friend
Knowing that I'll never fit in again

And if I could show all that we need to be free
Oh, but you know all that we wanted to be
But if I need somebody answering for me
(told you before and I'll say it again, do you hear what I'm telling you, look here and listen to me)
You know it was never really meant to be
