If Only You Knew

When we got lost on that long drive home
I weighed the cost of going it alone
I should've known which way to go
But how can you know?

When there's no sign, no guiding light
No dotted lines keeping you right
Right where you wanna be
But where do you wanna be?

If only you knew what was in front of you
Would you do the things you want to?
Would you contemplate the back and forth
How you're always wanting more
Than what's right in front of you?
Oh, if only you knew

When I gave up and you came around
To be the one that was steady and sound
I should've known but I couldn't see
How could I see?

If only you knew what was in front of you
Would you do the things you wanted to?
Would you contemplate the back and forth
And how you're always wanting
More than what's right in front of you?
Oh, if only you knew

Would you drink away the evenings
And let the days hang on?
Would you hide away your feelings
Until they are gone?

Would you do the things you wanted to?
Would you contemplate the back and forth
And how you're always wanting
More than what's right in front of you?
Would you contemplate the back and forth
And how you're always wanting
More than what's right in front of you?
Oh, if only you knew
Oh, if only you knew
