It's a dilemma about whether to live together in a new relationship or live apart so as not to offend the children of the protagonist

Lyrics

IF I COULD I THEN I WOULD

If I could then I would
I'd throw you a line
I'd go and make good
So that forever
You would be mine

I'd sing it out loud
I'd let people know
That you make me proud
And our future
Is all go

We would be unstoppable
An unbreakable force
Where everything you dreamed of
Was just a matter of course

If I could then I would
Can you believe me
But there's a fundamental problem
Don't you see





My kids they come stay
And I value the way
It's just them and I
There's no one else in the way

'Cause if you were here
I'd imagine that
They'd feel numb at heart
Crossing our doormat

I love us being together
And I love it when we roam
But please don't feel so bitter
'Cause I can't share a home

It's not many years ago that I
Let my marriage go so I ask
Can you understand now why
I'm so stubborn and not able
To move on

You say my kids will like you,
That you're fun and you're ok
But I fear their resentment
If I ask you home to stay
