If Only I Could
Brooks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stronger than a brick house
Bigger than the moon
And brighter than the stars
If i could move the montains
I would have know who you are
'Cause i've been looking far
Waiting to get lost in your eyes
If i could walk in water
I could have know who you are
If only i could see whats left to say,
You can't stop me now
'Cause i've been looking far
If i shown you what i'm made of
You would have seen it into me
If i'd shown you what i'm made of,
Baby you'l see it tonight
Faster than a race car,
Sharper than a knife and higher than the trees
If i shown you what i'm made of
You would have seen it into me
'Cause i've been looking far
Waiting to get lost in your eyes
Trying to find my way in this chaos
If i shown you what i'm made of,
Baby you'l see it into me
To me,
Far away
If only i could see whats left to say,
You can't stop me now
'Cause i've been looking far
If i shown you what i'm made of
You would have seen it into me
If i shown you what i'm made of,
Baby you'l see it into me
'Cause i've been looking far

'Cause I've been looking far
I've been searching extensively
Stronger than a brick house
I'm powerful and resilient
Bigger than the moon
I'm substantial and impactful
And brighter than the stars
I'm full of radiance and beauty
If I could move the mountains, I would've known who you are
I've been trying to find you but obstacles keep getting in the way
Waiting to get lost in your eyes
I want to deeply connect with you
Trying to find my way in this chaos
I'm struggling to navigate through life without you
If I could walk in water, I could've known who you are
I'm willing to do anything to find you
If only I could see what's left to say, you can't stop me now
I won't give up until I find you
If I showed you what I'm made of, you would've seen it in me
If you knew me deeply, you would see my true potential
Baby you'll see it tonight
I'm hoping for an immediate connection
Faster than a race car, sharper than a knife and higher than the trees
I'm quick, intelligent, and ambitious
To me, far away
You're distant but I still long for you

LYRICS:
Stronger than a brick house
bigger than the moon
and brighter than the stars.
If i could move the mountains
i would've known who you are...
'Cos i've been looking for
waiting to get lost in your eyes
tryna find my way in this chaos
if i could walk on water
i could've known who you are...
if only i could be the one to say
you can't stop me now
'Cos i've been looking for (x2)
If i'd shown you what i'm made of
you would've seen into me
if i show you what i'm made of
maybe you'll see into me
Faster than a race car
sharpen than a knife
and highter than the trees
If i'd shown you what i'm made of
you would've seen into me
'Cos i've been looking for
waiting to get lost in your eyes
tryna find my way in this chaos
if i show you what i'm made of
maybe you'll see into me, to me...
If only
if only i could be the one to say
if only i could be the one to say
you can't stop me now
'Cos i've been looking for (x2)
If i'd shown you what i'm made of
you would've seen into me
if i show you what i'm made of
maybe you'll see into me, to me...
