If I Could
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wish I could be your lover, be your true lover
One day to be discovered lying next to you
But I know my lack of grace continues to turn you off
And this could be my fate here, never to be touched
Wish I could be
I can feel it in the morning
Nothing going on tonight
I get the feeling that my love for you's not right
I can't help thinking that you might not like my
style
Watching television, let me chew on you awhile
Love me tonight
Then, face down, love me tonight
What if my fortune turns, will I turn away?
The battle of the heart we wage
The quiet game we play
What if it's me unequal, I'm the one who's not
Excited, forever
Withered in your touch
I'd miss you way too much
But you'd feel it in the morning
Nothing going on tonight
You'd get the feeling that my love for you's not
right
Always turning, but never turn away
I'll try to be patient, tell me everything's ok
... Love me tonight
