Firewood

Album: What We Saw From The Cheap Seats (2012)

  • The piano is not firewood yet
    They try to remember but still they forget
    That the heart beats in threes
    Just like a waltz
    And nothing can stop you from dancing

    Rise from your cold hospital bed
    I'll tell you, you're not dying
    Everyone knows you're going to live
    So you might as well start trying

    The piano is not firewood yet
    But the cold does get cold
    So it soon might be that
    I'll take it apart, call up my friends
    And we'll warm up our hands by the fire

    Don't look so shocked
    Don't judge so harsh
    You don't know
    You are only spying
    Everyone knows it's going to hurt
    But at least we'll get hurt trying

    The piano is not firewood yet
    But a heart can't be helped
    And it gathers regret
    Someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain
    And you'll miss every toy you ever owned

    You'll want to go back
    You'll wish you were small
    Nothing can solve your crying
    You'll take the clock off of your wall
    And you'll wish that it was lying

    Love what you have and you'll have more love
    You're not dying
    Everyone knows you're going to love
    Though there's still no cure for crying Writer/s: REGINA SPEKTOR
