If you wanted to - Melanie Pistorius

There are a few new leaves
on my backyard tree
And i never want to trip you up with honesty
but i guess the burden of the truth
was bigger than me

Ive got my blue guitar and my coffee cup
Im always writing but never singing
But the songs i write, are all these songs of love
But you, what can I say about you?

What can I say? If i feel this way
Its like trying to paint a picture
with just shades of gray
and cant help but see in color
when i look at your face

I can talk about my wildest plans
And you'll understand
cause the words are always resting
in my open hands
But you, what can i say about you?

Now i wonder, what it would be like
to have your hand in mine
Id rather fail than to never try

There are a few good fruits
on the friendship shoot
But i never trusted people like Im trusting you
And time can move so slowly
when you're not here

You make the doubts dry up
When my mind shuts down
And its never been as open
as it is right now
see, i feel like i could do this...
if you wanted to....
