- If I May Lyrics / with translationsDog's nails tap the kitchen floor
Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
She smokes and sings along with the radio
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Eddies of laughter swirl through the barred door
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
I'm writing in the dark and cannot see the letters
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Outside is a garden of buildings
Inside shes stares at herself in the mirror
Mesmerized by the light in her blue-green eyes
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight
Dog's teeth click
Headlights slide down the walls
While sleep makes me a deal I cannot refuse
I think of your absence, your sharp jaw
The way your collarbone surfaces under your skin
If I may then I might
If only you were here with me tonight

When we ask ourselves what the song was truly meant to express, Pete Francis' 'If I May' is a romantic song that evokes a feeling of solitude and longing. The narrator's feelings are characterized by the use of metaphors and tactile sensations. The tapping of a dog's nails on the floor, the laughter of children, and the mirrors' reflections all symbolize different aspects of yearning and ruminating, receiving and giving, silent and vocal, or, simply, the in-between of the commonplace which is the narrator's life. By saying, 'If I may then I might, If only you were here with me tonight,' the singer reveals his unlimited desire for someone's presence and the relaxation it would bring to the stillness of his solitude. The essence of the lyrics is love, heartbreak, angst, nostalgia, and solitude that are more or less interconnected. At the same time, the song emphasizes longing and loss, self-examination and loneliness. The words contain some adult themes and sensual imagery that are not appropriate for kids, like smoking and contemplating the nature of absence and desire. Yet, the song contains no strong language, violence, or sexual content, thus being suitable for a general audience under parental guidance.
