If Only

we could plan more than a few years at a time
if only we knew it would be more worth out while
living within our imaginary lines
and always changing our minds

you're feelings are not always the same as mine
so i guess i really shouldn't be surprised
when something eventually turns out otherwise
but i won't know why

i don't know, i don't know
what i deserver and what i still owe
i still need you're approval

all i can afford is all you can offer
not that it matters much anymore

sooner or later you'll be on my side
but i know we have some self-imposed deadlines
