If I Could Tell Her

Lyrics

SILVER (spoken) (male)
He really thought you were… amazing.

ZORA (spoken) (female)
He thought I was amazing? My brother?

SILVER (spoken) (male)
Absolutely.

ZORA (spoken) (female)
Why would he think that?

SILVER (spoken) (male)
Well… let me try to remember.

SILVER (male vocals)
He said
There’s something in the way you stand,
Like you’re ready for anything that comes your way
He said
Your eyes have this bright spark
That makes tough moments feel a little less scary

And he noticed
How when things get hard,
You still make everyone laugh just a little
And he told me
You solve problems faster
Than anyone else he’s ever met

But he kept it quiet in his mind,
All those thoughts he never shared
He wanted to tell you,
But he didn’t know how,
Didn’t know where to begin
Still, he always said…

If I could tell her,
Tell her everything I see…
If I could tell her,
How much she means to me…
But we’re standing far apart,
And I don’t know how to start
If I could tell her…
If I could tell her…

ZORA (spoken) (female)
Did he say anything else?

SILVER (spoken) (male)
A… about you?

ZORA (spoken) (female)
Never mind. It doesn’t matter.

SILVER (spoken) (male)
No—wait—he said a lot. I’m just trying to remember the best parts. So… um…

SILVER (male vocals)
He thought
You were unstoppable when
You stayed up fixing things no one else would try
And he wondered
How you learned to laugh
Like the future is full of possibilities

But he kept it quiet in his mind,
All those thoughts he never shared

If I could tell her,
Tell her everything I see…
If I could tell her,
How much she means to me…

[SILVER (male vocals) & ZORA (female vocals)]
But we’re standing far apart…

SILVER (male vocals)
And I don’t know how to start
If I could tell her…

If I could tell her…
But what do you do when there’s a space so wide?

ZORA (female vocals)
He just felt so far away…

SILVER (male vocals)
And what do you do when you can’t cross that divide?

ZORA (female vocals)
It’s like I didn’t know anything…

SILVER (male vocals)
And how do you say
I care about you
I’m proud of you
I believe in you
I’m here for you

But we’re standing far apart,
And I don’t know how to start
If I could tell her…
If I could…
