“If Only” is easily the truest songs for Pedro. The whole song was made in one night, in his home studio, with a cheap microfone and his brother’s guitar. He mostly talks about an unforgiving and uncertain future, his nostalgic past, and the consequence of scarcity of the normal life.
The future is uncertain
Everybody expects so much of me
I wanna open my eyes
See the world behind the curtains
But life’s too slow to let it be
It's scary thinking in what could be lost
It’s wistful worry of what could’ve been
It’s newborn secrets in the dark
It’s fallen leaves that take away the shade
So forget about the endless possibilities
Forget about graveyard milestones
Forget about sad past stories
The leaves have fallen in the ground
If only I knew what I could be
If only I saw what people see
If only life were not a mystery
If only I could be me
I wanna go someplace far away
I wanna feel the love that I can take
Chase the morning light in the air
I think I wanna go somewhere to stay
