If i had only known that you were leaving here so soon
i would not have been so flippant when i offered you the moon
i'd have pulled my chair up closer to the railing of your bed
and chosen much more carefully the words i said
Chorus:
i would ask you for your stories
and i would tell you mine
i would give you much more credit
i would take more of your time
there's so much i left unspoken
if you were here right now
i would love you out loud
If i had said the words "i love you" every time they crossed my mind
then you would have heard me tell you at least a thousand times
i know you knew it anyway, i guess you understood
but i would like to go back if i only could
Chorus:
i would ask you for your stories
and i would tell you mine
i would give you much more credit
i would take more of your time
there's so much i left unspoken
if you were here right now
i would love you out loud
I would touch you much more often
i would laugh at all your jokes
i would worry through your worries
i would dream through all your hopes
i would pray with you to heaven
are you watching from there now
do you know what i would give for the chance somehow
Chorus:
to ask you for your stories
i would tell you mine
i would give you much more credit
i would take more of your time
there's so much i left unspoken
if you were here right now
i would love you out loud
oh, i would love you out love
