	Story Behind the Song This song is one of my few autobiographical songs, was truly inspired and took only minutes to write whilst driving home on the 405. Features guitar work and programming by Jon Esler Lyrics IF ONLY Verse Sometimes I sit down and review Where I have been and I'm going to Sometimes I fall asleep at night Wake up in a panic, full of fright Wondering how could I be here At the same place that I've been for years The struggle should long ago be gone And still I don't know where I went wrong Chorus IF ONLY I pushed a little harder IF ONLY I stepped back and eased up IF ONLY I said what I was thinking IF ONLY I kept my big mouth shut Then I would be who, I should have been if I did Verse Life didn't turn out like you planned Don't know how much more you can stand A promising outlook looked so good When you started out in childhood Maybe if you did everything right Maybe if you had some foresight Beat yourself up again and again For something you can't seem to comprehend Chorus IF ONLY you pushed a little harder IF ONLY you stepped back and eased up IF ONLY you said what you were thinking IF ONLY you kept your big mouth shut Then you would be who, you should have been Bridge By some ironic twist of fate you and I have found each other See what progress we can make, what new ground we'll get to cover I'll understand your anxiety 'Cause when I look at you, I see me Verse Now when I sit down and review It's not so bad since I found you And when I fall asleep at night We share the panic, share the fright Wondering how could we be here Two of a kind with just one fear… Chorus IF ONLY we pushed a little harder IF ONLY we stepped back and eased up IF ONLY we said what we were thinking IF ONLY we kept our big mouths shut Then we wouldn't be who we are now IF ONLY … Words & Music by Donna Cristy and Tim McDougall ©2001, tiny lady songs
