If Only.

It’s funny how things turn out sometimes. I wrote this a few days ago, having an idea in mind of who it’s about, and yesterday, all the pieces suddenly fell into place. So it sort of feels like I did things backward with this one – wrote about something, and then it happened. Weird?

If only you knew
If only you could see
That everything you are, baby, is everything I need
If only I could show you what I’m feeling
I’d tell you, but it’s impossible to think straight whenever you’re around
So I say nothing, just hoping you’ll figure it all out
Then maybe the idea of a guy like you with a girl like me wouldn’t sound so crazy
If only

My head knows I should regret it
But my heart won’t let me forget it
Those awkward words I said to you
Got caught up in that moment, with your inviting arms and captivating eyes
And you you know it
Still, I couldn’t tell you everything
I secretly wanted to

If only you could see
That everything you are, baby, is everything I need
If only I could show you what I’m feeling
I’d tell you, but it’s impossible to think straight whenever you’re around
So I say nothing, just hoping you’ll figure it all out
Then maybe the idea of a guy like you with a girl like me wouldn’t sound so crazy
If only

My head knows keeping quiet would be better
But my heart wants to take a chance on forever
I don’t want to waste a single minute
Worrying about what could happen
This isn’t the way I wanted you to find out
But I can’t go back now, can’t shut my mouth
So for once, let me be spontaneous
Because your eyes, they give me a silent promise

If only you could see
That everything you are, baby, is everything I need
If only I could show you what I’m feeling
I’d tell you, but it’s impossible to think straight whenever you’re around
So I say nothing, just hoping you’ll figure it all out
Then maybe the idea of a guy like you with a girl like me wouldn’t sound so crazy
If only

If only I knew I wouldn’t get hurt
Then I could be that girl
If only you knew how much I cared
If only…
If only…
If only…

If only you could see
That everything you are, baby, is everything I need
If only I could show you what I’m feeling
I’d tell you, but it’s impossible to think straight whenever you’re around
So I say nothing, just hoping you’ll figure it all out
Then maybe the idea of a guy like you with a girl like me wouldn’t sound so crazy
If only

If only you could see
That everything you are, baby, is everything I need
If only I could show you what I’m feeling
I’d tell you, but it’s impossible to think straight whenever you’re around
So I say nothing, just hoping you’ll figure it all out
Then maybe the idea of a guy like you with a girl like me wouldn’t sound so crazy
If only

If only I knew I wouldn’t get hurt
Then I could be that girl…

    hey, girl! I don't think I'll be doing any sending! xoxo

    It's funny because I already have another one done about this same situation which I'll post next week. It might make things, how shall we say…a bit clearer!
