If I Could Lyrics

Take me to another place, she said

Take me to another time

Run with me across the oceans

Float me on a silver cloud


If I could I would, but I don't know how

If I could I would, but I don't know how

If I could I would and I'd take you now


Stay with me till time turns over

I want to feel my feet leave the ground

Take me where the whispering breezes

Can lift me up and spin me around


If I could I would...

Hear you laughing as we go

Flipping backward through the doors and through the windows...

I'm melting into nothing


If I could I would, but I don't know how

If I could I would, but I don't know how

If I could I would and I'd take you now

I think if people paid more attention to the last line of this song, they wouldn't play it at their weddings so much. She's a narcissist. He's doing his best to meet her impossible expectations. In the end he loses complete sense of self. This is not a love song. It's a tragedy.

My Interpretation
Negative
Subjective
Sadness
Disgust
Love
Tragedy
Expectations
Self-discovery
