Steve Kipner - If You Could See Me Now lyrics

[Intro: Danny O'Donoghue] (Oh, if you could see me now) (Oh, if you could see me now) [Verse 1: Danny O'Donoghue] It was February fourteen, Valentine's Day The roses came, but they took you away Tattooed on my arm is a charm to disarm all the harm Gotta keep myself calm but the truth is you're gone And I'll never get to show you these songs Dad, you should see the tours that I'm on I see you standing there next to Mom Both singing along, yeah, arm in arm And there are days when I'm losing my faith Because the man wasn't good, he was great He'd say, "music was the home for your pain." And explain, I was young, he would say "Take that rage, put it on a page Take the page to the stage Blow the roof off the place." I'm tryna make you proud Do everything you did I hope you're up there with God Saying "that's my kid" [Chorus] I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now (Oh, if you could see me now) Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) (Oh if you could see me now), yeah [Verse 2: Mark Sheehan] If you could see me now, would you recognize me? Would you pat me on the back or would you criticize me? Would you follow every line on my tear-stained face? Put your hand on a heart that was cold as the day you were taken away? I know it's been a while but I could you see clear as day Right now, I wish I could hear you say "I drink too much and I smoke too much dutch." But if you can't see me now that sh**'s a must You used to say I won't know a winner 'til it crossed me Like I won't know real love till I've loved then I've lost it And if you've lost a sister, someone's lost a mom And if you've lost a dad, then someone's lost a son And they're all missing now, and they're all missing now So if you get a second to look down at me now Mom, Dad, I'm just missing you now [Chorus] I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) If you could see me now Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now), woah [Bridge] (Oh, oh) Ooh, would you call me a saint or a sinner? Would you love me a loser or a winner? ooh (Oh, oh) When I see my face in the mirror We look so alike that it makes me shiver [Chorus] I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) (Yo, I'm just missing you now) I still look for your face in the crowd Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) Would you stand in disgrace or take a bow? Oh if you could see me now (Oh if you could see me now) Oh oh oh [Outro: Danny O'Donoghue] (If you could see, you could see me now) (You could see, you could see me now)
