If Only I

Jon McLaughlin · Promising Promises [2012]

In this old cafe

I come here everyday and watch you

I watch you

Sometimes I hear your voice

Over all the noise you bleed through

And I hear you



Slowly all the faces turn to yours

Like no one else exists anymore

And I'd talk to you if only I could speak

And I'd dream of you if I could fall asleep



People say love is hell

A shiny prison cell where time stops

But the door's unlocked

Now you're apart of me

Trust me I've tried to leave

I've tried to walk

But I'm all talk



Slowly all the faces turn to yours

Like no one else exists anymore

And I'd talk to you if only I could speak

And I'd dream of you if I could fall asleep



Then I stand up and go talk to you

You start to smile like you want me to

And we stay together for the end of time

But this is only happening in my mind



Slowly all the faces turn to yours

Like no one else exists anymore

And I'm there for you if only I could speak

And I'd dream of you if I could fall asleep

I'd dream of you if I could fall asleep
