Sampled noises, cautious synthesizers, falsettos, and a techno drum machine make the tenth song, “If I Had a Mountain”, a defining climax.
The man once again declares his passion and love to the woman, as the relationship has finally been confirmed that it is dissolving away.
[Verse 1]
If I
Had a mountain
I’d push every stone to a cliff
And if I
Had a river
The banks would overflow
The banks would overflow
[Chorus]
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me
The stain from where your wine glass was
Could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I, I don't have you
[Verse 2]
And if I
Had an ocean
The waves would reach past the shore
And if I
Had a desert
The sand would be whiter than snow
The sand would be whiter than snow
[Chorus]
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me
The stain from where your wine glass was
Could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I, I don't have you
If I, I don't have you
[Bridge]
Cause everything that I am
Is just pieces of you
And every thought that I have
Just pieces of you
Just pieces of you
Just pieces of you
Yeah
Just pieces of you
[Chorus]
But a book abandoned by the bed might kill me
The stain from where your wine glass was
Could bring me to my knees
A book abandoned by the bed might kill me
If I, I don't have you
