If Only Lyrics

Walking around in the days
Out for days now
Talking it up as amazing,
A maze that I'm in.
Looking at the stars for the answers
But all that I found was silence and dirty ground

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

Listen just a little bit harder
The hearts tell the truth
Is it just a pistol on the edge
To keep you moving
You're looking like you're looking for something
And now, you're surrounded by silence, whoa.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

Silence, silence, silence.
You're surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.
You're surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.
You're surrounded by
Silence, silence, silence.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.

If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now.
If only it was only me now.
If only it was only me now.

Lyrics to the verses are a bit different than written above

Walking around in a daze For days now it’s been Talking it up as amazing The maze that I’m in Looking under stones for the answer but all that I found Is silence and dirty ground

Listen just a little harder The heart tells the truth It isn’t just a piston in an engine To keep you moving …..

My best guess is that it's about estrangement. Trying to figure things out, wanting things to be better, but not being able to speak. Perhaps it's about longing to just be given the chance to be honest and show that things have changed, that it could be better now.

The "If only you could see me now" part always seems to me like, "Hey, look where I got without you." I'm not sure how the rest fits in with that, but that's always been my interpretation.
