Testo di 'Red' di Oh Dorian

i wanted to write you a song to remind you
of everything good in the world.
you could play it at picnics
and in traffic you could listen.
let it take you away.
but this is as good as it gets these days.
this is as good as it gets.

i wanted to paint you a picture
that'd make you smile
everytime you walked by.
you could trace every line with your finger
and find that they're all for you.
but i'm only an artist
from time to time
when i'm painting my way out of things.

i'm sure that you hoped for a happier tune.
so did i. i'm sure you expected much more
but life's hard to ignore at least one things for sure...

if i knew hope
i'd know your face
if i knew love
i'd know your taste

if i felt peace
it'd be your hand in my hand
if i had faith
it'd be in one single man

if i knew beauty that stretched over miles
i'd know each perfect curve of your smile
if i knew grace that made bitter stones dance
i'd know the warmth of your merciful glance
if i knew hope like the birds know the sky
i'd know each colored thread in your eye
and when time simply won't stand still
it's so nice knowing you will
