I am black keys scattered and afraid
|
sounds like our notes could never agree
|
Perfectly ivory
|
play me something happy
|
|
The eyes that trace cedar and feel melody
|
or those that just stare and never agree
|
Perfectly ivory
|
Play me something happy
|
|
Finding the note to end on
|
21 years and the same selfish song
|
God put you in my piano love dreams
|
All of my warm words are coming out mean
|
|
Finding the note to end on
|
21 years and the same selfish song
|
God put you in my piano love dreams
|
So don't wake me up while I sleep
|
|
Woke up alone again
|
and I traced the sheets to find you'd left
|
left side of my bed, left side of my chest
|
wanted something bigger than myself
|
and if I could take care of you, taking care of me
|
we could be so happy
|
promise me that you're
|
promise me that you're
|
promise me that you're happy
|
(Perfectly ivory, play me something happy)
|
|
the hardest part of this is
|
the hardest part of this is
|
the hardest part of this is
|
letting go
|
