Song Description
Poetically written verses with exaggerated concepts over a moody, minor chord progression to drive home the point of the song, which begs the question of whether or not the singer's desperate love for someone will go unrequited, no matter what she does.

Lyrics
"MISSION IMPOSSIBLE"
Words & Music, Lynn Carey Saylor
c2004, Guitar Girls Dot Com Publishing, BMI
IF I COULD BREATHE UNDERWATER
OR IF I COULD FLY TO THE MOON
WOULD I BE SPECIAL ENOUGH FOR YOU?
IF I COULD CHANGE THE WEATHER
AND MAKE IT SNOW IN JUNE
WOULD I BE GOOD ENOUGH TO CHOOSE?
I NEED TO HEAR YOU SAY
IS THAT WHAT IT WILL TAKE, A SUPERHUMAN
(Chorus)
IS IT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
ARE YOU EVEN CAPABLE
OF FEELING FOR ME WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU
OR IS THIS A GAME THAT I?M GONNA LOSE
IS IT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
IF I COULD REACH UP TO HEAVEN
AND BRING ALL ITS LIGHT BACK TO YOU
WOULD THAT BE WHAT I?D HAVE TO DO?
IF I COULD LIVE FOREVER
AND I COULD MAKE SURE YOU WOULD TOO
WOULD THAT BE GOOD ENOUGH TO HOLD ON TO?
I NEED TO HEAR YOU SAY
IS THAT WHAT IT WILL TAKE, A SUPERHUMAN
(Chorus)
IS IT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
ARE YOU EVEN CAPABLE
OF FEELING FOR ME WHAT I FEEL FOR YOU
OR IS THIS A GAME THAT I?M GONNA LOSE
IS IT MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
(Bridge)
IF YOU TOLD ME YOU?D NEVER BE SATISFIED
WITH ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
IT WOULDN?T HURT SO BAD INSIDE
IT?S JUST MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
(SOLO)
(DBL CHORUS)
(End Tag)
IF I COULD BREATHE UNDERWATER
OR IF I COULD FLY TO THE MOON
WOULD I BE SPECIAL ENOUGH FOR YOU?
