"If / Aubrey" lyrics

If a picture paints a thousand words
Then why can't I paint you?
The words will never show
The "you" I've come to know
If a face could launch a thousand ships
Then where am I to go?
There's no one home but you
You're all that's left, me too

And when my love for life is running dry
You'll come to pour yourself on me

And Aubrey was her name
A not so very ordinary girl or name
But who's to blame?
For the love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing
Take away the words that rhyme
It doesn't mean a thing

And Aubrey was her name
We tripped the light
And danced together to the moon
But where was June?
No, it never came around
If it did, it never made a sound
Maybe I was absent or was listening too fast
Catching all the words
But then the meaning wouldn't last

God, I miss the girl
And I'd go a thousand times around the world
Just to be closer to her than to me

Then one by one the stars would all go out
Then you and I would simply fly away
