If You Were... Lyrics

Clearly about people in a relationship that isn't what it was when it started. The singer wants to keep it going, but he doesn't know what to do with the other person. So he is giving them the choice of getting back together or he will leave forever.

Easy to empathize with if you have ever dated someone who didn't feel quite the way you did about them.
