If You Knew

If you saw me walking down the street

Wearing that dead, distant gaze

Would you stop and cross the road?

And if you knew that I was on the edge

And thinking of some better place

Would you call me on the phone?

And if you knew that I can hardly sleep at night

Voices fighting in my head at night

And I often speak to you

Would you answer if you knew?

If you knew, if you knew

Would you call me if you knew?

Well, I guess you might, but I'd be surprised

And maybe that’s where the problem lies

But I’d feel better if I knew

If I knew that soon the phone would ring

And a voice would say

"Hey brother, how you doing?"

I feel like you’d know what to do

And just that thought would pull me through

Would you call me if you knew?

If you knew, if you knew

I feel like you’d know what to do

If you knew, if you knew

Would you call me if you knew?
