Текст Stabilo – If It Was Up To Me

If it was up to me, I’d never look both
Ways before crossing the street
If it was up to me, I’d never wear my
Seatbelt, and I’d probably still speed

I’m about to do something foolish
If you could be so kind
As to call the police
I swear this time
It’s not just for attention
But I also know that you have heard that
From me once before

If it was up to you,
I would never swear around people
I’m supposed to respect
If it was up to you, I’d keep in touch with
Friends from the past
Even though they never last
If it was up to you,
I’d always say my prayers before I ate
And before I went to sleep
If it was up to you, I’d be happy and I’d
Write songs that made you happy too
I can’t seem to care much for these things
That you call life
So you better come quick

I’m about to do something foolish
If you could be so kind
As to call the police
I swear this time
It’s not just for attention
I don’t want the topic to change
I couldn’t ever tell you, to your face
That I’ve only been pretending
To enjoy this place
It’s all been make believe
And it’s mostly in my head

The problem is we only guess
Where we go when we finally rest
Will it be better than where we are now
Still I’d like to believe
It’s better than here
Better than where we are
Better than here

We’ve forgotten what we’re here for
Or maybe we never knew
If a simple life is what we want
Why are we so confused?
Cuz we all want a happy ending
But we’re tired of children’s books
We’re tired of feeling useless
And we’re tired of dirty looks
I swear we used to feel things
Or at least we cried real tears
We used to say I’m sorry
But we haven’t now for years
So forgive us of our sins
Before we make our move
Let us die in peace
So we never have to choose
