Intro:
Yeah, yeah
If only, if only
Ayo, Metro
Verse 1 - J. Cole:
If only I had the courage, took a chance back then,
Maybe I’d be more than just a friend, extend a hand,
Late nights talkin’, laughin’, vibin’ on the low,
Now we scrollin’ through the memories, wishin’ I could show.
Missed calls, late texts, lost time in the grind,
Heart aches sittin’ in my chest, all these thoughts on my mind,
Chasin’ dreams but lost sight of people that mattered,
Now I’m here alone, thinkin’ bout the times we scattered.
Chorus:
If only I said it, if only we met,
If only I could turn back, there's so much regret,
Wish I could rewind, hit replay on the scene,
If only life was different, livin’ out my dream.
Verse 2 - Future:
If only I had a dime for every chance I let slide,
Countin’ all blessings, but I don’t even try,
Pulled up fresh, but I ain't get the vibe,
Missed the signs, now I’m sittin’ here high, oh why?
Old crew hit me up, but my phone stay dry,
They out livin’ their lives while I’m here wonderin’ why,
Late night rides, wild times, smoke and drink,
But I pushed ‘em away, never thought to think.
Chorus:
If only I said it, if only we met,
If only I could turn back, there's so much regret,
Wish I could rewind, hit replay on the scene,
If only life was different, livin’ out my dream.
Bridge:
If only I turned left when I should’ve gone right,
Now I'm fightin’ with shadows, every move feels tight,
I see the faces fade, they haunt my every night,
Yearnin’ for the moments that never felt right.
Verse 3 - J. Cole:
Now I’m in the booth, spillin’ ink on this pad,
Reflectin' on the regrets, man it’s makin’ me mad,
Every girl I didn’t chase, every risk I didn’t take,
Now I’m writin’ these rhymes, hopin’ something will shake.
Future’s got the beat, so I’m strappin’ in tight,
With the bass thumpin’, we gon’ ride through the night,
If only I could change it, but I’m stuck in my thoughts,
Livin’ life for the moments, countin’ all that I’ve lost.
Chorus:
If only I said it, if only we met,
If only I could turn back, there's so much regret,
Wish I could rewind, hit replay on the scene,
If only life was different, livin’ out my dream.
Outro:
Yeah, if only…
Ha, if only…
Missed opportunities, we livin’ with the weight,
If only we could change it, but it’s still too late.
Yeah, if only.
