If I Were Lyrics

Just tell me, tell me how to keep this
And I'll be alright
Just tell me, tell me what's the secret
And I'll hold it tight
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again
Just tell me, tell me how to keep this
So it never ends

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same
If I were, if I were God just for a day

Don't tell me, tell me how it changes
It's you I can't replace
Don't tell me, tell me that we're hopeless
I can learn from my mistakes
'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same
If I were, if I were God just for a day

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away

If I were God, just for a day
I would be guilty
Of letting the whole world slip away
I wouldn't change,
No, I wouldn't change a thing
I'd leave the mistakes
I'll take the blame
And I'll use the chance
To keep you just the same

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment

No, I don't want to spend another moment

'Cause I don't want to spend another moment
Without you again

The lyrics poignantly express a longing to maintain an intimate connection, suggesting that even divine power would be used not for grand cosmic alterations but to preserve the status quo of personal affection. The repeated invocation of being "God just for a day" underscores a fantasy of control over life's imperfections and mistakes—highlighting human vulnerability and the inherent flaws we all possess. Ultimately, the song delves into the universal human experience of fearing loss and yearning for stability in love, suggesting that true contentment lies not in changing the past but in cherishing and sustaining what one holds dear.
