If Only Lyrics

'Cause I need you
'Cause I need you

Every single time I see you I start to feel this way
It makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
There's a picture that's hanging at the back of my head
I see it over and over

I want to hold you and love you in my arms and then
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply you've got to hold it in
This time tonight

chorus
If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
'Cause I need you

I sit here waiting wondering hoping that I'll make this right
'Cause all I think about is your hands
Your face and all these lonely nights
There's a feeling screaming in the back of my head
Saying over and over

I want to hold you love you in my arms and then
I want to need you 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Then I hear myself reply she'll never let you in
This time tonight

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
Please don't go 'cause I need you now

I want to hear you say
It'll always be this way
We'll be hand in hand for every night and every day
I want to scream and shout
'Cause I'm losing any doubt
And all I care about is you and me and us and now

Oh yeah

Yeah

If only I had the guts to feel this way
And if only you'd look at me and want to stay
And if only I'd take you in my arms and say
I won't go 'cause I need you
Please don't go 'cause I need you now
Yeah
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you now
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
'Cause I need you
(if only...)
(if only...)
'Cause I need you now
Yeah

this is a very catchy song - the harmonica is terrific. the meaning is simple: boy likes girl. boy is afraid to tell girl how he feels. everyone can relate, though.

I'd say that catherineks is right. It's relatable - I can relate.

Shryan... have you even seen pictures of them lately? :P I think you might change your opinion.. and at 17, 20, and 22 you can hardly call them 'little' anymore.

Anyway, the song.. yep, very relatable indeed. I like this song a lot. There are others I like better, but this one is definitely catchy.

taylor is a pretty great-looking guy. can't deny it.

and this song is beautiful and i love it.

i love the line "if only you'd look at me and want to stay" who can say they've never felt that way? and it's a beautiful and poetic way of saying "i wish you'd care about me the way i do for you".
