Loose Laces

What if I tried?
What if I ran with fight and fury of dynamite?
What if I flied?
What would that change?

What if I lied?
What if I never cried?
What if I never did hide?
If I did all that,
What would it change?

I spend my days chasing all my dreams of you,
Yet I always trip over my shoes,
Man, I hate theses loose laces,
Don't you too?

What if I tried?
Could it change what we are now?
Would it give back my power to make you laugh and move?
Would it make you smile?

I've ran a million miles,
Across all the rivers and mountains,
I flew to Mercury and Saturn and back,
Just so I could see your smile one more time,

Every time I drew near I'd trip and fall,
And these loose laces caused it all,
They made me fall,
Then I'd see your face and forget everything,
Makes me wonder,

What if I tried?
What if I lied?
What if I flied?
What if I ran with the fight and fury of dynamite?
Damn these loose laces!
Why do I always have to cry?

Damn these loose laces!
They made me fall!
All these strange paces,
Screw these loose laces!

What if I tried?
What if I lied, flied, and never cried?
What if I could make you smile?
How would that help?
Could I hold you then?
Could I make this pain end?

Cause, if I tried,
If I changed,
If I did different,
What would you say?

What if I tried?
What if I lied?
What if I never did hide?

Always on the fence!
Always down!
You said I turned that around!
You said I made you happy,
That I turned your frown upside down,
Made the pain go away!
I'd die for you any day!

What if I tried?
I would die,
Just to show my love,
To end this pain,
What if I tried?
What if I lied?
What if I flied?

I would do anything,

But it wouldn't change the tide,
