If only I were a genius I’d only create my one masterpiece
Earn enough idle money to last me a lifetime Spend the rest of my days having fun
If only I were a king I’d make everyone I don’t like disappear
But I might end up being the only one left Making it easier for me to just disappear

While looking at your sleeping face I’d begin to think
Even someone like me isn’t all that bad
It’s just the endless useless talk Of someone always wanting something more

If only I were smarter I’d go to college to study
Find myself a decent job for my parents’ sake I would have liked to see my parents pleased




If only I were kind I’d help everyone that needed help
I don’t want to go about acting like I’m not really there I’m over feeling miserable like that
If only I were a better speaker I’d be a late night radio host
To be able to take someone’s bad day Make it seem alright and end it with a smile

While looking at your sleeping face I’d begin to think
Even someone like me isn’t all that bad
It’s just the endless useless talk Of someone always wanting something more

If only I were a musician I’d weave together that which words couldn’t convey
Make melodies which nobody has heard before I used to think up things like that




If only I were a great doctor I’d be the one to cure my father of his sickness
But it would be too embarrassing to say so myself We’re so much alike like that

While looking at your sleeping face I’d begin to think
Even someone like me isn’t all that bad
It’s just the endless useless talk Of someone always wanting something more

If only I were a God I would get rid of our emotions like anger and sorrow
For everyone to be comfortable and happy and all live laughing It wouldn’t be such a luxury

If only I were able to be reborn I’d be myself just one more time
To try live without making any mistakes nor regrets But would that still really be me
