If I were you I'd answer my letters
If I were you I'd pick up the phone
If I were you I'd try to make this better
If I were you I'd come back home
If I were you I'd head for the mountains
Far away from the city lights
Find a spot where your heart can't hear nothin'
And let it fly into the night
This wasn't what we planned, no
I guess you did what you had to do
And maybe I'd understand
If I were you
If I were you I'd call up your mother
She always knew just what to say
Ask her if I deserve another
Chance to make you want to stay
This wasn't what we planned, no
I guess you did what you had to do
And maybe I'd understand
If I were you
If I were you I'd answer my letters
If I were you I'd pick up the phone
If I were you I'd try to make this better
If I were you I'd come back home
