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 asleep, 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 rule, I would bend
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
Will you still let me join in with 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
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 rule, I would bend.
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, will you still let me join in with 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 to you more often than I do.
The most under appreciated line is "if i go insane will you still let me join in on the game?". Just so powerful, imagine having one of your friends go absolutely insane. Would you still hang out with them? Invite them to parties? And if you dont, that would just contribute even more to their madness.

"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 rule, I would bend.
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,
Will you still let me join in with 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."
