IF ONLY SOMEONE SAID ...




She stares out the crying window 
On to the shiny streets of rain 
Wondering just where he might be now 
And how quickly things have changed 
It was an argument so foolish 
Both sides should have shared the blame 
Things were said that deeply wounded 
Striking where they were not aimed

And they want to be together 
They don't want to be apart 
There's a void of a million miles 
In the space of a human heart 
And they want to be together 
But things are too far gone 
If only someone said "I'm sorry" 
If only someone said "Hold on"

He's in Sioux Falls South Dakota 
A thousand miles from home 
And if sorrow had a quota 
He surpassed it long ago 
And every stranger is a shadow 
Every corner is a blur 
For no matter how far he goes 
He sees nothing only her

It's a bleak and lonesome landscape 
It's a cold and threatening world 
Love is meant to sooth the heartaches 
Life so treacherously hurls 
There's a phone booth by a drugstore, 
All he has to do is call 
But he stands beside the glass door 
Is it pride that makes him stall?
And they want to be together 
They don't want to be apart 
There's a void of a million miles 
In the space of a human heart 
And they want to be together 
But things are too far gone 
If only someone said "I'm sorry" 
If only someone said "I'm wrong"
