Lyrics if + when - Larkins

if + when

I’m sick of talking shit, and laying back
And rollin' over like a heart attack
Of wakin' up when it’s dark outside
Go for another, a midnight drive
When we were seventeen
Told you to run away
You stole your parents car, said you’d be back someday
But no, you couldn’t leave, it was too dark outside
Go for another, a midnight drive
We’d go for another midnight drive
'Cause I’ll be there to make you feel better
I hope that I’m enough
And I’ll be there in case you’ve had another
I hope I’m strong enough
Just take my keys if you wanna go
Just tell me that it’s not my fault
I’ll be there
If and when it gets too rough
Well you’ve been waiting for
Another overdose
'Cause caffeine doesn’t hit like all those pills.
you know
I wish you’d text your mum
And I wish you’d hold her tight
I’m tired of lying to her
She calls me every night
And I told you once before
But life just ain’t like school
Can’t be drivin' high
Just say you’ll be home soon
I know it must be tough
If you’re still coming down
Just promise me you’ll call, and I’ll come around
'Cause I’ll be there to make you feel better
I hope that I’m enough
And I’ll be there in case you’ve had another
I hope I’m strong enough
Just take my keys if you wanna go
Just tell me that it’s not my fault
I’ll be there
If and when it gets too rough
Oh, it’s never really fate
Lonely for a day
You found yourself some friends, you always say that you’re okay
When I was playing in LA, tried to call you everyday
Saying, «If and when it gets too rough»
Hold on, 'cause
I’ll be there to make you feel better
I hope that I’m enough
And I’ll be there in case you’ve had another
I hope I’m strong enough
Just take my keys if you wanna go
Just tell me that it’s not my fault
I’ll be there
If and when it gets too rough
