Nicole Atkins If I Could Lyrics

Why are we rushing everywhere if it doesn't move you?
Just cuz you have places to go
That doesn't prove you can outrun your past
Wherever you go that's where you are
So please stay by my side
Don't say goodbye

If I could make you stay for a while
If I could make you stay for a while
Keep you far away from harm
Forever in my arms
I would if I could

There is nothing that I can do to change what is happening to you
If I knew the words to say to make all your troubles go away
A way to live, a life to love
Whatever you dream of
Stay by my side
Don't say goodbye

If I could make you stay for a while
If I could make you stay for a while
Keep you far away from harm
Forever in my arms
I would if I could

I would
I would
I would
