Work of Art
If I was going to tell you what I think, I would have told you long ago
The night we walked out in the snow
I was fumbling but you did not know
If I was going to tell you what I think, I would have told you on that hill
When the night was cool and still
There was a silence dying to be filled
If I was going to tell you what I think, I would have told you something true
But then I had to think it through
What it would mean to me and to you
And ever since it's never seemed the time to be so candid
And trust that we could ever be more
People throw away the plate of love that they are handed
Forgetting that that's what this life is for
If I was going to tell you what I think I would have whispered on that breeze
About how you brought me to my knees
And how you captured me with ease
You're floating in a state of grace
I find the wonder in your face
It's like sunlight dancing on the sea
If I was going to tell you what I think I might've maybe broke my heart
So I kept my heart and mind apart
And now my love lives in this work of art
I only tell you in this work of art
It isn't real, it's just a work of art
Oh it could have been a work of art
The night we walked out in the snow
I was fumbling but you did not know
If I was going to tell you what I think, I would have told you on that hill
When the night was cool and still
There was a silence dying to be filled
If I was going to tell you what I think, I would have told you something true
But then I had to think it through
What it would mean to me and to you
And ever since it's never seemed the time to be so candid
And trust that we could ever be more
People throw away the plate of love that they are handed
Forgetting that that's what this life is for
If I was going to tell you what I think I would have whispered on that breeze
About how you brought me to my knees
And how you captured me with ease
You're floating in a state of grace
I find the wonder in your face
It's like sunlight dancing on the sea
If I was going to tell you what I think I might've maybe broke my heart
So I kept my heart and mind apart
And now my love lives in this work of art
I only tell you in this work of art
It isn't real, it's just a work of art
Oh it could have been a work of art
