Fiction Plane If Only lyrics

Fiction Plane
Miscellaneous
If Only
The old man's been stealing
She's holding a greivance for a hundred odd years
We all keep believing
That history repeats itself year after year
All I fear is that the future is wrong
We have to give in to this hundred-year curse
Sweat in the sun like we're digging a grave
Dig deep enough and our fortune we'll save

Chorus:
If only, if only
The woodpecker sighs
The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies
As the wolf waits below
Hungry and lonely
And cries to the moon

If only, if only

Chasing the skirt of a beautiful wife
You'll make mistakes
And it's my back that breaks
And forever my past steals my life
To submission I'm beat
But there's hope beneath these feet
Blisters and blood and the sun makes you blind
You don't let it eat you can't help but be kind
Cause you know what's important
With your back to the wall
You can break metal chains
You and your friends won't let you fall

Repeat Chorus
