If It Was Up To Me lyrics

If it was up to me, I�d never look both 
Ways before crossing the street 
If it was up to me, I�d never wear my 
Seatbelt, and I�d probably still speed 
If it was up to me, I never would have 
Smiled in any pictures 
I�d most likely sleep all day 
If I could just relax for awhile 
So you better come quick 

I�m about to do something foolish 
If you could be so kind 
As to call the police 
I swear this time 
It�s not just for attention 
But I also know that you have heard that 
From me once before 

If it was up to you, 
I would never swear around people 
I�m supposed to respect 
If it was up to you, I�d keep in touch with 
Friends from the past 
Even though they never last 
If it was up to you, 
I�d always say my prayers before I ate 
And before I went to sleep 
If it was up to you, I�d be happy and I�d 
Write songs that made you happy too 
I can�t seem to care much for these things 
That you call life 
So you better come quick 

I�m about to do something foolish 
If you could be so kind 
As to call the police 
I swear this time 
It�s not just for attention 
I don�t want the topic to change 
I couldn�t ever tell you, to your face 
That I�ve only been pretending 
To enjoy this place 
It�s all been make believe 
And it�s mostly in my head 

The problem is we only guess 
Where we go when we finally rest 
Will it be better than where we are now 
Still I�d like to believe 
It�s better than here 
Better than where we are 
Better than here 

We�ve forgotten what we�re here for 
Or maybe we never knew 
If a simple life is what we want 
Why are we so confused? 
Cuz we all want a happy ending 
But we�re tired of children�s books 
We�re tired of feeling useless 
And we�re tired of dirty looks 
I swear we used to feel things 
Or at least we cried real tears 
We used to say I�m sorry 
But we haven�t now for years 
So forgive us of our sins 
Before we make our move 
Let us die in peace 
So we never have to choose
