What If I Told You
Whispers of Love: Revelations in 'What If I Told You'
Lyrics
Painted walls and hard wood floors collide
Describing the setting with painted walls and hard wood floors coming together.
Crooked pictures graced by mornings light
Images on the walls slightly askew, lit by the morning light.
Her silhouette has never let me down
Expressing admiration for the enduring beauty of her silhouette.
But never could be now
Reflecting on a past time when things were different, suggesting change.
Nerves have got the best of me
The speaker is feeling nervous, possibly due to an impending conversation.
As she stands there oh so gracefully
Describing her poised stance, emphasizing grace and beauty.
A thousand words on my tongue right now
Feeling overwhelmed with a multitude of unspoken words.
What if I told you
Presenting a hypothetical scenario of confessing feelings.
That I need you
Expressing a need for the person in question.
That I love you for all that you are?
Declaring love for the person as they are, without reservation.
Would you hold it against me
Questioning if openness and honesty would be held against the speaker.
For speaking so freely?
Acknowledging the vulnerability of speaking freely.
What would you say?
Pondering the potential response to the confession.
Would you walk away?
Raising the possibility of the person walking away in response.
She runs her fingers through her hair
Describing an intimate gesture, running fingers through her hair.
Trading glances for a stare
Trading brief glances for a more intense and prolonged stare.
My silent words have never spoke so loud
Highlighting the impact of unspoken emotions, powerful despite silence.
Hey never could be now
Recalling a time when things were different but acknowledging change.
What if I told you
Repeating the hypothetical scenario of expressing feelings.
That I need you
Reiterating the speaker's need for the person.
That I love you for all that you are?
Reaffirming love for the person in their entirety.
Would you hold it against me
Posing the question of whether honesty would be a point of contention.
For speaking so freely?
Recognizing the potential consequences of speaking openly.
What would you say?
Pondering the anticipated response to the heartfelt confession.
Would you walk away?
Wondering if the person would choose to walk away after hearing the truth.
What would you say now?
Leaving the final question open-ended, inviting contemplation.
