If Only

Esiste anche una versione alternativa:There is also an alternative version: «Distant Seventeen»

Another town goes by
Out of this blurred pane
As she witnesses time
And chances going to waste
As she turns seventeen
In a desperate home
Where the dreams she dreams
Are thicker than the walls.
And if only he knew where to go.

Another glass goes down
As the bottle kisses the floor
And he stares, smiles, frowns
And cheers to the closing doors
As he turns seventeen
In a road he never called home
Although home is what it seems
To whom he has become.
And if only she knew where to go.
