If Things Were Different

Too much is made of this
It's only love
And I'd like to think I'm able to leave
When I'm strong enough
But you've tracked me down
And lifted me up
And I wanna drink from your river
And I wanna circle your fire
I wanna dream
Dream of a life here steady and true
But I know I'm just passing through

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above
This was meant to be
I'm being carried away
I can only say that sometimes
I wish things were different

Mine is a lonely quest
A private matter
And I cannot always choke the tears
Or share the laughter
But you understand
And welcome me here
And I wanna rest in your shadow
And I wanna fall like rain at your feet
And I wanna go
Go where the wind blows wild and free
'Cause I know I'm just passing through

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above
This was meant to be
I'm being carried away
I can only say that sometimes
I wish things were different

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above
Still I wish things were different

And I wanna drink from your river
Still I wanna circle your fire
And I wanna dream of a life here with you
Steady and true

If things were, if things were
If things were different
I would be your love
I would be your love

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above
This was meant to be
I'm being carried away
I can only say that sometimes
I wish things were
Oh, I wish things were

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above

If things were different
I would be your love
But I've cast these stones
To the heavens above

If things were different
I would be your love
I would be your love
I would be your love
