If I Could Tell Her - Laura Dreyfuss/Ben Platt

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 you 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

It looked pretty cool when you put indigo streaks in your hair

He did isn't

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
