Verse 1)I’d wake up to a sky that’s permanently goldNo more stories ending with us getting oldThe clocks would all be broken, frozen on the hourWhere the coffee’s always hot and the milk is never sourI’d trade the rush of traffic for a quiet, open roadAnd every heavy secret for a lighter kind of load.(Pre-Chorus)I wouldn’t have to wish upon a falling starOr wonder where the better versions of us areI’d pull the future closer, kick the shadows out the doorAnd stop the world from asking me for more.(Chorus)If I had it my way, the rain would only fall at nightWe’d never have to find the words to end a stupid fightThe gravity would let us go, we’d drift above the grayAnd every single "maybe" would be "yes" todayYeah, the sun would never set, it’d just decide to stayIf I had it my way.(Verse 2)The telephone would only ring to tell me something goodWe’d live inside the moments that we never understoodThere’d be no "gone too soon" or "goodbye" at the gateWe’d finally have the time to sit and never be too lateI’d paint the city colors that have never been seen yetAnd find a way to live a life without a single regret.(Pre-Chorus)I wouldn’t have to wish upon a falling starOr wonder where the better versions of us areI’d pull the future closer, kick the shadows out the doorAnd stop the world from asking me for more.(Chorus)If I had it my way, the rain would only fall at nightWe’d never have to find the words to end a stupid fightThe gravity would let us go, we’d drift above the grayAnd every single "maybe" would be "yes" todayYeah, the sun would never set, it’d just decide to stayIf I had it my way.(Bridge)It’s a neon dream, a hollow scheme, I knowBut sometimes it’s the only place that I can goWhere the cracks are filled with silver and the sharp edges are softAnd I don’t have to worry ‘bout the things I’ve lost.(Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break)(Chorus)If I had it my way, the rain would only fall at nightWe’d never have to find the words to end a stupid fightThe gravity would let us go, we’d drift above the grayAnd every single "maybe" would be "yes" todayYeah, the sun would never set, it’d just decide to stayIf I had it my way.(Outro)Just for a second, it feels realThe way I want the world to feelBut the morning’s coming, cold and grayStill, it’s nice to dream of my wayMy way...If I had it my way.
