Only If We Must

You learn from the past

Well I reminisce

You look to the future

I see maybe at best

A kiss for good luck

Save it for an honest Joe

It's too late to worry

I guess I'll just go



So forgive me

And maybe

We won't turn and rust

Only if we must

Only if we must



Saints never preach

And angels don't fly

Down by the beach

Where the seagulls die



I asked you not to breathe

You let out a sigh

I asked you not to breathe

That's for you to decide



So forgive me

If need be

Forget about us

Only if we must



Angels wait on the beach

For the time run

I let out a sigh

If I reminisce

And you're the past

Ah, maybe at best

Our epitaph



Forgive me

And if need be

I will turn to dust

Forget me if you must

Only if you must

If you must
