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.
