If I Could

If I were you I'd turn this thing around Before it runs aground But I know you and there's nothing That could ever slow you down I closed me eyes hoping It would all work out in time But here we are And there's nothing I can do To change your mind Cause if I could you know I would If I could you know I would If I could you know I would I circled once then twice Before I finally found the words The sweetest sound but nothing That you ain't already heard I knew the day would come Your ship would run aground But I know you and There's nothing you would do To slow it down I wish I could slow you down Cause if I could you know I would If I could you know I would If I could you know I would I should've known My chance was gone The way you laughed When first we kissed Another round and I'd have won But as it was it never came Your body spoke a thousand truths Another shade into my soul I'm on my knees and begging now What would it take? I'm down on my knees Cause if I could you know I would If I could you know I would If I could you know I would Cause if I could you know I would If I could you know I would If I could you know I would If I were you I'd turn this thing around Before it runs aground
