If you were a melody
I'd sing you all the time
And if your hands were poetry

I'd memorize every line
And if every look you gave me were
A different hue or shade of color

I'd learn how to paint you

You know I'd try

You know I'd try
You know I'd try
You know I'd try


And if you were words in a story
You'd be in a book that's overdue

That's somewhere hidden in my closet
Looked a million times for you
And if you were just one day

You'd be the very first of May
And I'd be sunlight in your skies


Or at least I'd try
You know I'd try
You know I'd try

You know I'd try

What are the words, all the words that you're saying

I wish I knew all the prayers that you're praying
Everywhere you go I wish
That I could stand next to you

What are the words, all the words that you're saying
I wish I knew all the prayers that you're praying
Everywhere you go I wish

That I could stand next to you

Well I'd try

Well I'd try
You know I'd try
Try

You know I'd try
You know I'd try
