Testo If Only I knew - Elliott Palmer
Testo della canzone If Only I knew (Elliott Palmer), tratta dall'album If Only I knew
I've walked these miles, and I've earned the weight
Lines on my face, no need to explain
Took roads that twisted, ones that fell
Left when I should've gone right, but oh well
There were days I thought I'd lost my way
But somehow stumbled to a brand new day
With each step taken, I've learned a bit more
Yet I wonder what I'd give for the roads I ignored
If only I knew then what I know now
Could've saved myself heartache somehow
Would've skipped the pain, sidestepped the scars
But then I wouldn't be where these memories are
I wish I'd known, but maybe that's the price
To know the road's lesson, you walk it twice
Sometimes I look back and laugh a bit
At a younger man who didn't quit
Chasing dreams that faded in the dark
But left me a few battle marks
I'd tell him now to take it slow
To trust himself when he doesn't know
Yet even in all the paths I regret
There's a few sweet things I'd never forget
If only I knew then what I know now
Could've saved myself heartache somehow
Would've skipped the pain, sidestepped the scars
But then I wouldn't be where these memories are
I wish I'd known, but maybe that's the price
To know the road's lesson, you walk it twice
The years roll on, like a river wide
With moments that drift and moments that hide
Every wrong turn made, every chance passed by
Led me to see with clearer eyes
So here I am, a bit older now
Content in the peace this age allows
I've let go of blame, learned to forgive
Took the long way 'round, but I learned to live
I'm grateful for the right, the wrong
The roads that taught me where I belong
With all the joy and hurt I recall
I wouldn't change a thing, not after all
If only I knew then what I know now
But maybe the lesson's in the journey somehow
Life's a tune that changes, note by note
And every mile's worth the songs I wrote
