Firewood

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

You'll want to go back

You'll wish you were small

Nothing will console your crying

You'll take the clock off of your wall

And you'll wish that it was lying

[Verse 7]

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
