If I were a swan, I'd be gone. 
If I were a train, I'd be late. 
And if I were a good man, 
I'd talk with you 
More often than I do. 

If I were to sleep, I could dream. 
If I were afraid, I could hide. 
If I go insane, please don't put 
Your wires in my brain. 

If I were the moon, I'd be cool. 
If I were a book, I would bend for you. 
If I were a good man, I'd understand 
The spaces between friends. 

If I were alone, I would cry. 
And if I were with you, I'd be home and dry. 
And if I go insane, 
And they lock me away, 
Will you still let me join in the game? 

If I were a swan, I'd be gone. 
If I were a train, I'd be late again. 
If I were a good man, 
I'd talk with you 
More often than I do.
