Firewood

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 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're 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've ever owned

You'll want to go back

You'll wish you were small

Nothing can slow 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
