  • What if I could run, what if I could hide away
    From all the things I've done, would I start it all again?

    I could've seen it all
    I could've seen it all if I bide my time
    I could've seen it all
    I could've seen it all but I wanted more

    And through all the great things I've seen
    I couldn't live with just a dream,
    but it was more than just a dream

    It seems we always fight against the things that lead us on
    We always take a bite of the apple that will seed our fall
    And you could see it all, you could see it all
    But that's not what you need
    I've seen it all, I've seen it all in pathetic fallacies

    And although there's great things to see
    We get struck in our hypocrisy and we'll revel in our greed

    What if I could dive, what if I could see the ocean floor
    What if I could fly, what if I could spread my wings and soar
    I could've seen it all
    I could've seen it all but I took my time
    I could've seen it all
    I could've seen it all but I wanted more

    And through all the great things I've seen,
    human nature took the best of it for me
    Yeah you took the best for me

    I Could've seen it all (repeat to fade) Writer/s: NITIN SAWHNEY, SAMUEL LLOYD DUCKWORTH
