lyrics

If I had a pair of shoes, I'd put them on and dance with you. If I had a parachute, I'd jump from soaring planes for you. I'd plummet from the sky, pull the ripcord hard and glide. See the ground beneath, bend my knees and kick my feet. If I had a parakeet I'd do my best to teach him to speak. I'd probably try to teach him your name if all the letters fit in his brain. One day he'd fly away, I already but that's ok. I'd be glad to see him go, help him open the big window. If I had a clue, I guess, I'd walk until I had to rest. Look down at my midnight heels and wonder if the dirt was real. I'd hate to hear your voice, clear and pure through all the noise. You sing the prettiest songs, one of these days I'll sing along. If I had a wife, you see, I'd try to love her because she'd love me. But if that wife wasn't you I know I'd have to tell the truth. I'd have to break her heart, hold her if she fell apart. Tell her it's not her fault, I made a mistake and that is all. If I had a pair of shoes, I'd put them on and dance with you. If I had a parachute, I'd jump from soaring planes for you. I'd plummet from the sky, pull the ripcord hard and glide. See the ground beneath, bend my knees and kick my feet.
