If I Had the Right Words
Ready?
One, two
Unh, two, three, four
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be staring at empty pages
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be sleeping in a lonely bed
If I'd stolen a lyric from Shakespeare
This giddy thing mighta held a line
And if I'd had the right words I'd still be yours and I
Wouldn't begrudge the sun its shine
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be starting at blank spaces
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be living with you in my head
And if you'd shown me all the words from every book you'd ever loved
Then I could have read your mind
If I'd had the right words I'd still be yours
And I wouldn't begrudge the clocks the time
If I'd had the right words honey, if I'd had them
I say what I mean
And never mean what I've said
I'm trapped behind the lines you read
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't see you in stranger's faces
If I'd opened up I know we would've found another way ahead
They say a picture's worth a thousand
Actions always speak much louder
A half truth can cover any lie
If I'd had the right words I might not be yours
But at least I'd know
At least I'd know I had the guts to try
If I'd had the right words honey, if I'd had them
If I'd had the right words honey
If I'd had the right words
If I'd had the right words honey
If I'd had them, if I'd had them
One, two
Unh, two, three, four
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be staring at empty pages
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be sleeping in a lonely bed
If I'd stolen a lyric from Shakespeare
This giddy thing mighta held a line
And if I'd had the right words I'd still be yours and I
Wouldn't begrudge the sun its shine
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be starting at blank spaces
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't be living with you in my head
And if you'd shown me all the words from every book you'd ever loved
Then I could have read your mind
If I'd had the right words I'd still be yours
And I wouldn't begrudge the clocks the time
If I'd had the right words honey, if I'd had them
I say what I mean
And never mean what I've said
I'm trapped behind the lines you read
If I'd had the right words I wouldn't see you in stranger's faces
If I'd opened up I know we would've found another way ahead
They say a picture's worth a thousand
Actions always speak much louder
A half truth can cover any lie
If I'd had the right words I might not be yours
But at least I'd know
At least I'd know I had the guts to try
If I'd had the right words honey, if I'd had them
If I'd had the right words honey
If I'd had the right words
If I'd had the right words honey
If I'd had them, if I'd had them
