He thought you were awesome.?
He thought I was awesome? My brother?
Definitely!
How?
Well...
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
