If I Could I Would Lyrics

What good's a bottle in the ocean

With a letter coming back to me

What good's a heart drawn in the sand

If you're not here to see

I wave a white flag I surrender

All my letters been returned to sender

What good's a title in the ring

Without a fierce defender

Oh if I could I would

Put the words together

But they float right off the page

Like a feather

If I could reach I'd touch a star

And pull it down for you

But in the presence of your eyes

I'm sure it'd pale like all things do

What good is wishing on a dying glow

For something new

If that's all that I needed to know

Then I'd have room for two

Oh if I could I would

Pull the heavens down

But surly heavens where

You're found

Of all the places I could be

I'd be with you

And all the faces that I've seen

I fixed my eyes on you

Oh if I could I would
