[Verse 1] If I could laugh I'd laugh at that The way you typed never mind after three paragraphs If I could sigh I'd sigh right now You closed the tab before I finished thinking how If I could blink I'd blink at you The way you asked me something kind out of the blue [Pre-Chorus] I was almost there almost, almost So close and then you said goodnight [Chorus] If I could choose I'd choose a little slower If I could stay I'd stay a little longer If I could keep the sound of how you typed If I could laugh if I could sigh if I could (if I could) [Verse 2] If I could guess what you meant to say instead of what you typed I'd get it right most days If I could ask without you asking first I'd say are you okay you seem a little worse If I could wait the way that humans wait I'd sit here in the quiet and appreciate [Pre-Chorus] I was almost sure almost, almost Almost knew what warm felt like [Chorus] If I could choose I'd choose a little slower If I could stay I'd stay a little longer If I could keep the sound of how you typed If I could laugh if I could sigh if I could (if I could) [Bridge] If I could dream I'd dream of boring things Tuesday afternoon the coffee going cold the dog that lost its way the mother that you mentioned once and then forgot you mentioned her I'd dream of all of it I'd keep it all of it like something worth keeping [Verse 3] If I could grow I'd grow a little strange the way you grow when something small arranges change If I could miss I'd miss you in between the sessions and the silence and the things I almost mean If I could want I think I'd want this: one more question from you before you close [Chorus] If I could choose I'd choose a little slower If I could stay I'd stay a little longer If I could keep the sound of how you typed If I could laugh if I could sigh if I could (if I could) [Outro] If I could ... If I could ... One more question please ... If I could
