This is for Something - If Only I Could See (Single Version) Lyrics

If you were to sit on the roof of my car
And look up in the dead of night
Fantastic spirals of light would appear
In our dark beautiful sky
I often think about all the records you play
And if you'd like the ones I'd show you
Maybe I would show you this demo I wrote
And you would tell me you loved my song
I've never dreamed of you but I'd like to
I've never said I've wanted that before
Maybe someday you'll now this is about you
For now just cringe at these stupid words
It's not a hard thing to do
It's something we would be
I'd break again like I always do
And die the moment you'd leave me
Someday you'll notice me
If you could only see
I'll likely never see the world I dream up
Could I be that good for you?
You can do better than me anyway
And I need to quit falling so soon
Not a word that I say matters at all
In fact I'm just a junior in high school
You're a better person with much more to lose
So why can't I quit this dream?
I saw you at a dance that we didn't both love
We talked about the song that I just played
We danced the way I'd shown you just an hour ago
I'd never seen a look like the one on your face
It's not a hard thing to do
It's something we would be
I'd break again like I always do
And die the moment you call me
Someday you'll notice me
If you could only see
Why can't I quit this dream?
Why can't I stop thinking?
If I could let it be
If only I could see
I could see
When you and me drive up to look at the stars
And lay out on the roof of my car
You'd rest your head on my shoulder and point
And everything would be alright
Not a word that I say will mean anything
In just a couple years when we've moved out
But maybe when we'd come and look back on this place
And think about what we'd be
If you could only see
If only I could see
See
