If Only Lyrics

Oh yeah
Some days it's so easy
Sometimes I forget how
Much I want you back again
Back again

Well, maybe it's a game
You win some and you lose some
And when you find a good one
Don't you let her get away
Don't let her go

Oh yeah
If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
To have you back again
Back again

I am just a fool, baby
Playing Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' round
Like I got, nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you

Walkin' past your window
I used to smile and you'd throw
Your sweet kisses back to me
Back to me
Remember when I asked you
If you'd be my one true
Oh it seems like yesterday
Like yesterday

I am just a fool, baby
Playing Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' round
Like I got, nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you

I want you, so
Take me back
Please
Take me back
My baby

If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I am just a fool, baby
Playing Mr. Cool, baby
Rollin' round
Like I got, nothing much to lose
But I know you and you know me
And I know you could see
So help me get my way back to you
Back to you

I want you, so
Take me back
Please
Take me back
My baby

If only I could have you
Just the way I want you
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Cover art for If Only  lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

I think this song is about a person being in love with someone, but the feelings of the person he likes have changed. Its a song about finding the best person and not lossing her/him.

They were in love in the past but he didnt make a move or did something stupid and the other person moved on.

It´s also about feeling conected to a past you want with someone but you cant have right now.

In general a song about the game of love and how dificult it can be.

My Interpretation
Cover art for If Only  lyrics by Dave Matthews Band

This song reminds me of someone I loved so much. I think of him and wish he'd play this song for me. I think of him all the time. This describes the way I feel about him. I see him almost every day so it's tough to move on, because I know I will always love him.
