That's What I Would Do
(Paul Foglino)
If I could take back all the stupid things I've ever said
If thoughts that I've let slip could all be stuffed back in my head
That's what I would do
If I could get back something I let get away
If I could make things right instead of hoping they'd turn out okay
That's what I would do
That's what I would do
And I would do it too
That's what I would do
If I could step back from all the times I went too far
Times I broke a window when I was aiming for a star
That's what I would do
If I could make you want me if I could be your other half
If I could make you happy instead of trying to make you laugh
That's what I would do
CHORUS
All these lies I've told have turned to promises to keep
And all these miles and miles and miles that I've been walking in my sleep
And if I could figure out how these woods ever got so deep
That's what I would do
And I would do it too
That's what I would do
If I could take back all the stupid things I've ever said
If thoughts that I've let slip could all be stuffed back in my head
That's what I would do
If I could get back something I let get away
If I could make things right instead of hoping they'd turn out okay
That's what I would do
That's what I would do
And I would do it too
That's what I would do
If I could step back from all the times I went too far
Times I broke a window when I was aiming for a star
That's what I would do
If I could make you want me if I could be your other half
If I could make you happy instead of trying to make you laugh
That's what I would do
CHORUS
All these lies I've told have turned to promises to keep
And all these miles and miles and miles that I've been walking in my sleep
And if I could figure out how these woods ever got so deep
That's what I would do
And I would do it too
That's what I would do
