If I Be Wrong Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What if I’m wrong, what if I’ve lied
What if I’ve dragged you here to my own dark night
And what if I know, what if I see
There is a crack run right down the front of me

[Verse 2]
What if they’re right, what if we’re wrong
What if I’ve lured you here with a siren song?

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you tonight

[Verse 3]
Ten thousand cars, ten thousand trains
There are ten thousand roads to run away

[Verse 4]
But I am not lost, I am not found
I am not Dylan’s wife, not Cohen’s hound

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you tonight

[Verse 5]
And what if I can’t, what if I can
What if I’m just an ordinary man
[Verse 6]
If there is a will, there is a way
I will escape for sure, I am David Blaine

But if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here with you
If I be wrong, if I be right
Let me stay here in your arms tonight
And I have been wrong, I have been right
I have been both these things all in the same night
So if I be wrong, if I be right
Let me be here, with you, tonight
