"If" lyrics

If you were a bath I'd lie inside you for hours
If you were a hat I think I'd cover you with flowers
If you were an artichoke I'd eat your heart out
If you were a sweater I'd keep you on til I wore the seams out

If I were a broken record would you still turn me on
Even if I skipped a beat during your favorite song
If I were your headphones would you keep me tangled in your pocket
If I were a missing sock would you wonder where you lost it

Oh oh oh oh, things get better
Oh oh oh oh, what if things get better

If I were a lighthouse would you sail back out to sea
If I were a tourniquet would you rather bleed
If I were your laundry would you leave high and dry
If I were a cheap motel would you still stay the night

Cause if you were a boxer you'd knock me out in the first round
If you were a candle I'd never want to blow you out
If you were just a dream I'd press snooze on my alarm
So I could stay 10 mins longer in your arms

Oh oh oh oh, things get better
Oh oh oh oh, what if things get better

Don't let go just yet
Feels like I'm fighting WW3
Against my past inside my head
And I'm losing
I think I'm losing

If life is a hurricane I'm glad I met you in the eye
If things are black and blue I'll be the night and you the sky
Tomorrow I'll open the curtain so I can let the light inside
Oh oh oh oh, I think I'll try
