If I Was a Fountain

Well, if I was a fountain would your wishes bring good luck?

And if I was a jacket, would you always hang me up?

But if I was a jukebox, would you play me all the time?

And if I sold my guilty soul, would you pay any mind?

Yeah, if I had direction, I’d be sure to steer you right

And if I was a freight train, would you ride me every night?

But if I was a season, would you catch me when I fall?

And if I gave you everything, would you just take it all?

But if the answer’s “yes” to the questions I already know

There would be nothing left to prove.

I wish I had the time, but you’re fine with my fate on the line

No need to know the truth, it might just break your heart in two

And I’ve done sniffed up all my glue, the lone conclusion that I drew

I guess I'm only human after all.

Yeah, if I was a smile, would you turn me upside down?

And if I was a whirlwind, would I spin your world around?

But if I was a hotel room, would you be here to stay?

And if I went and stood you up, would you just walk away?

Yeah, if I was a riddle, would you see me as a joke?

And if I was a pocket, would you come and take me broke

But if I was a junkie, would you try and get me fixed

And if I was a cigarette, would you decide to quit?

But if I’m never there, don’t despair 'cause I don’t really care

As long as I’m not getting caught.

I’ll just escape the pain, of disdain let me level my brain from your forget-me-not’s

They tell you “Give it all you’ve got”, so, watch me take another shot,

You’re bound to make my stomach rot,

Forgot I’m only human after all.

Yeah, if I was expensive, would your wallet set me free?

And if I was a letter, would you ever let me B?

But if I was a stop sign, would you still be on the go?

And if I was road map, would you let me take you home?

But If I sing my song, is it wrong if you don’t sing along

But still support me in the end?

‘Cause like the setting sun, it’s been fun, but it’s over and done.

I’m moving on my friend, until the day we meet again,

I’ll wallow in my medicine

And know that I’ll feel better when

You realize that I’m human after all.
