If Only - Annabel

we could plan more than a few years at a time

if only we knew if it would be more worth our while

living within our imaginary lines

and always changing our minds

your feelings are not always the same as mine

so I guess i really shouldn’t be surprised

when something eventually turns out otherwise

but I wont know why

i don’t know,

I don’t know

what I deserve

and what I still owe

I’ll still need your approval

all I can offer

is all you can afford

not that it matters much anymore

sooner or later you’ll be on my side

but I know we have some self-imposed deadlines
