"He thought you were...
awesome."
"He thought I was awesome?
...My brother?"
"Definitely!"
"How?"
"Well..."
He said,
There's nothing like your smile:
Sort of subtle and perfect and real...
He said,
You never knew how wonderful
That smile could make someone feel...
And he knew
Whenever you get bored,
You scribble stars on
The cuffs of your jeans,
And he noticed
That you still fill out the quizzes
That they put in those teen magazines...
But he kept it all inside his head...
What he saw he left unsaid,
And though he wanted to,
He couldn't talk to you,
He couldn't find the way...
But he would always say...
'If I could tell her,
Tell her everything I see!
If I could tell her,
How she's everything to me,
But we're a million worlds apart,
And I don't know how I would even start,
If I could tell her...
If I could tell her...'
"Did he say anything else?"
"Uh, About you?"
"Never mind, I don't really care..."
"No, no, no!
He said so many things!
I'm just trying to
remember the best ones..."
He thought
You looked really pretty...
Er,(clears throat) uh,
It looked pretty cool
When you put indigo streaks in your hair
"He did?!"
And he wondered
How you learned to dance
Like all the rest of the world
Isn't there...
But he kept it all inside his head,
What he saw, he left unsaid...
If I could tell her,
Tell her everything I see!
If I could tell her,
How she's everything to me,
But we're a million worlds apart...
And I don't know how I would even start,
If I could tell her!
If I could tell her,
But what do you do
When there's this great divide!
(He just seemed so far away...)
And what do you do
When the distance is too wide!
(I think I don't know anything...)
And how do you say,
"I love you...
I love you,
I love you!
I love you..."
But we're a million worlds apart...
And I don't know how I
Would even start...
If I could tell her...
If I could...
