This song is so beautiful. To me the lyrics are both uplifting and saddening at the same time. For one, I feel encouraged to do everything I can now in the present to help everyone so that I don't look back in the past and wish "only if." However, at the same time I am exactly like the narrator in the fact that I constantly look back on the past thinking about how different things could have been. The grunge movement could have lasted longer into my teens, the world could have experienced so much less pain and heartache, and our savior could have lived a longer life full of inspiration and miracles.
