IF I TOLD YOU THAT LIFE IS A COMEDY,
TELL ME WOULD YOU LAUGH AT ME,
AND WOULD THE LAUGHTER SET YOU FREE
AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WERE THE ONE FOR ME,
WOULD IT HELP TO MAKE YOU SEE,
WE COULD LIVE SO EASILY
* AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT WE COULD FALL
WOULD YOU EVEN COME AROUND AT ALL
IF I TOLD YOU THAT LIFE IS A TRAGEDY,
WOULD YOU TURN AWAY FROM ME,
WOULD YOU SEE THE IRONY
AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT I THINK I NEEDED SPACE,
WOULD YOU UP AND SLAP MY FACE,
WOULD IT HELP TO MAKE YOUR CASE

* AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT WE COULD FALL
WOULD YOU EVEN COME AROUND AT ALL
LIFE CAN BE SO STRANGE, SO SUBJECT TO CHANGE,
SO DON'T TRY TO REARRANGE
SPIRITS THAT ARE BROKEN, WORDS LEFT UNSPOKEN
LIFES AWOKEN
IF I TOLD YOU THAT LIFE IS A MELODY,
WOULD YOU COME AND PLAY FOR ME,
WOULD THE MUSIC TAME THE BEAST
AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT IT'S ALRIGHT TO DANCE AROUND,
MOVE YOUR BODY TO THE SOUND,
WOULD I BE WITHIN MY BOUNDS
* AND IF I TOLD YOU THAT WE COULD FALL
WOULD YOU EVEN COME AROUND AT ALL
LIFE CAN BE SO STRANGE, SO SUBJECT TO CHANGE,
SO DON'T TRY TO REARRANGE
SOULS TO BE MENDED, POSITIONS DEFENDED
LIFES UPENDED
