If / Aubrey
[Verse 1]
If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The "you" I’ve come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that’s left, me too
[Bridge]
And when my love for life is running dry
You'll come to pour yourself on me
[Verse 2]
And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame?
For the love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme
It doesn't mean a thing
[Verse 3]
And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light
And danced together to the moon
But where was June?
No, it never came around
If it did, it never made a sound
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Catching all the words
But then the meaning wouldn't last
[Bridge]
God, I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world
Just to be closer to her than to me
[Outro]
Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
