if only

• karşılığı 'wısh' olan ve türkçede 'keşke' sözcüğüne karşılık gelen ingilizce deyim.
• hanson'in neden 90'larin en iyi gruplarindan biri oldugunu gosteren, muazzam neseli ve ritmli sarki. her ne kadar bir ask hikayesi, bir caresizlik ornegi gibi duysa da dinlendiginde enerji veren parcalardandir.
• bu sirinlik abidesi sarkinin sozleri:
  
  'cause i need you.
  'cause i need you.
  
  every single time i see you
  i start to feel this way
  it makes me wonder if i'm ever
  gonna feel this way again
  there's a picture
  that's hanging at the back of my head
  i see it over and over
  
  i wanna hold you, love you.
  in my arms and then.
  i wanna need you,
  'cause i need to...
  be with you 'til the end.
  then i hear myself reply
  you've got to hold it in.
  this time, tonight.
  
  (chorus)
  if only,
  i had the guts to feel this way.
  and if only,
  you'd look at me and want to stay.
  and if only,
  i'd take you in my arms and say,
  i won't go, 'cause i need you.
  'cause i need you
  
  i sit here waiting wondering,
  hoping, gotta make this right.
  'cause all i think about
  is your hands, your face,
  and all these lonely nights.
  there's a feeling, screaming,
  in the back of my head.
  saying over and over.
  
  gonna hold you, love you.
  in my arms and then.
  don't wanna leave you,
  'cause i need to
  be with you 'til the end.
  then i hear myself reply
  she'll never let you in.
  this time, tonight.
  
  if only,
  i had the guts to feel this way.
  and if only,
  you'd look at me and want to stay.
  and if only,
  i'd take you in my arms and say,
  i won't go, 'cause i need you.
  please don't go, 'cause i need you now.
  
  i wanna hear you say,
  it'll always be this way.
  we'll be hand in hand
  for ever night, and ever day.
  i wanna scream and shout.
  'cause i'm losin' any doubt.
  'cause all i care about is
  you and me, and us, and now.
  
  oh yeah.
  
  if only,
  i had the guts to feel this way.
  and if only,
  you'd look at me and want to stay.
  and if only,
  i'd take you in my arms and say,
  i won't go, 'cause i need you.
  please don't go.
  'cause i need you now, yeah
  'cause i need you
  (if only...)
  'cause i need you now.
  (if only...)
  'cause i need you
  'i need you
  (if only...)
  'cause i need you
  (if only...)
  'cause i need you
  (if only...)
  (if only...)
  'cause i need you now, yeah
