If I Could Tell Her
[EVAN]
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 hе wanted to
He couldn't talk to you
He couldn't find thе 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
He thought
It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair
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

[EVAN & ZOE]
But we're a million worlds apart

[EVAN]
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?

[ZOE]
He just seemed so far away
[EVAN]
And what do you do when the distance is too wide?

[ZOE, spoken]
It's like I don't know anything

[EVAN]
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
