This song is about a girl telling me what her basic need is: for someone to love and hold her. It's a basic need we all have as children, and I think honestly it's something that makes a difference throughout our lives.

Lyrics
IF ONLY
Words and Music by Jake Niemi
Written May 7, 2005
she said, ?you know it?s so much
harder than it seems
to try to be so hard and tough and
hide your feelings?
she said, ?I still have the same basic needs
as I did as a child?
she said, ?if only someone would come and love me;
if only someone would come?
she said, ?if only someone would come
and hold me;
If only someone would come
and hold me down?
hold me down? hold me down?
she said ?this world has so much complication;
you gotta be so perfect just to avoid desperation?
she said, ?I still have the same basic needs
as I did as a child?
(chorus)
