If I Could
© 2000 juliana hatfield music

standing on the railway platform waiting for your train
thinking there is almost no place you have never been
we'll drive up to a sandy beach but that is no consolation
I wanna be a hero but I let it go

you take my peace of mind
every time you leave
if I could I would make all your pain go away
if I could keep you here I would kiss all the tears falling down your face
if I could I would make everything alright
if I could bring you home to a place you belong I would
but you're already gone

you took a lot of things you shouldn't have taken
but wondering if you will ever get back up again
you're very very beautiful why do you think you're ugly
well I could never get enough from you to know

you take my peace of mind
every time you leave
if I could I would make all your pain go away
if I could keep you here I would kiss all the tears falling down your face
if I could I would make everything alright
if I could bring you home to a place you belong I would
but you're already gone

take my peace of mind
cause I know you really need it
if I could I would make all your pain go away
if I could keep you here I would kiss all the tears falling down your face
if I could I would make everything alright
if I could bring you home to a place you belong I would
but you're already gone
