If Only
The Calling · II [2004]
Tell me your fiction
tell me your lies
say to me now you'll never forget this night
I'm feeling emotionless
my head's so clear
my enemies aren't the ones I fear
you know your kiss confuses
this troubling soul
and I found out
that we're all breaking hearts
that we're all broken hearts
If only love could find us all
if only hearts didn't have to fall
we can't mislead to make things right
so instead we'll sleep alone tonight
What's the way of love
you are thinking i'm crazy
but you're blushing of lust
I've heard a lot of nice things
but tell me which ones i'm to trust
the walls we made are glass
and they have been known to crack
but until then
you'll keep pushing my way
and I'll keep pushing you away
If only love could find us all
if only hearts didn't have to fal
we can't mislead to make things right
so instead we'll sleep alone tonight
If you want to take a chance
and try to make things right
you better have a reason to be loved
we all want something more
and it is worth fighting for...
If only love could find us all
if only hearts didn't have to fall
we can't mislead to make things right
so instead we'll sleep alone tonight
And if all our fate were in my hands
would it be enough to undertsand
why we feel lost in a world so small
if only love could find us all...
If Only

Following the massive success of their debut, the band sought to refine their post-grunge sound with a more introspective approach. This recording captures the group's signature blend of melodic rock and emotional depth, showcasing their ability to craft anthemic choruses grounded in personal reflection. The song remains a staple in their discography, highlighting the band's continued exploration of themes regarding hope and resilience during a pivotal era in their career. As part of a body of work that includes enduring hits, If Only demonstrates the artistic maturity The Calling achieved as they navigated the pressures of the mid-2000s rock landscape.
