The Kooks - If Only Lyrics

Artist: The Kooks

Album: Inside In / Inside Out

  • Songwriters: Paul James Garred, Hugh Harris, Luke Pritchard, Max Clarke Rafferty

So hold your head and hold your tongue
But only say what you have to
And as a child, yes, I dreamed
Of holding her in the silver screen
She loved her mum, but I loved him twice
I wish I'd been that passenger

Having fun, fly my kite
The devil inside won't control my life
Too much love, so little hate
The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbors

So here I go to see the world
With my eyes and with my soul
And too much love, so little hate
The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbors

So hold your head and run my time
The what of life no man can rhyme
So here we are and here we bleed
To be a victim, there's no need

Having fun, I never fight
The devil inside controls my life
Too much love, so little hate
The devil inside won't control my fate

Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbors

Oh, if only, if only
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
He'd have someone to play with
Instead of bombing our neighbors
