Katie Melua's music video "If You Were a Sailboat" taken from the album Pictures.
Melua said of the song: “What I liked about the song is the fact that a lot of love songs tend to deal with the fluffy nice side of love, but this one deals with how you get very selfish when you fall in love with someone, and you don't want to share them with the world, you just want them all about yourself."
There are plenty of examples of the conditional tense in this song. It's common to say "if I was," but it's technically incorrect. It should be, "if I were." We have left it as is in this song.
