It It Was Up to Me

[Verse 1]
If it was up to me
The fish would all be biting
The words would not need writing
They'd just fall out of my pen

[Verse 2]
If it was up to me
My bank account would have more zeros
I'd be friends with all my heroes
And they'd call me now and then

[Chorus]
If it was up to me
I'd be living by the sea
And order extra rum with every single drink
I'd let it and the waves
Drown your memory
If it was up to me

[Verse 3]
If it was up to me
We'd all be driving 80
I'd be living like they paid me
Instead of working to get paid

[Verse 4]
If it was up to me
My mistakes would not outlive me
Everyone could just forgive me
All the ones I've made

[Chorus]
If it was up to me
I'd have my own money tree
And I'd buy all the things that I don't really need
And they'd help me not to think
About how we used to be
If it was up to me

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]
If it was up to me
The Stros would win the season
And I'd have every reason
To go out and paint the town

[Verse 6]
If it was up to me
This life would be so easy
Everyone would aim to please me
And they'd never let me down

[Chorus]
If it was up to me
I'd have no enemies
I'd receive the grace I need without apology
And no one that I love
Would ever have to leave
If it was up to me

[Outro]
But it's not up to me
