about

A song I wrote on piano a long time ago, that I have finally got around to giving the ryan mitchell-ben-folds-smith treatment.

lyrics

The Piano Song

Caught in a spin I watch my step,
Before I’m falling,
My senses are suffocating,
In a spider’s web,
Taking the lead I bide my time,
To see what’s coming,
I’m biting my lip once,
But I’m twice as shy.

Was it something to do?
Was it something to say?
Was it something to walk away from and, test out the lie?
(Oh yes it was, oh yes it was, oh yes it was, you know it was)
Was it meant to be mean?
Was it meant to be cruel?
Was it low self-esteem that made you, break all the rules?
(Oh yes it was, oh yes it was, oh yes you know of course it was)

Can it really be,
Obvious to me,
That fumbling fingers,
Take it all away,
For another day,
Resisting temptation?
How’s it gonna be,
When you really see,
The truth in your colours,
Tinkling the keys,
Of what it really means,
To feel...
That you’re alone...

(You’ll never know,
Just what could have been,
An after-glow,
Ex-potentially...)

How could you hold my hand in times,
Of my worst troubles,
Watching the pain dry,
Through my crimson eyes.
Staring back blankly as I check,
The facts and figures,
The seat-belt of my love,
Is it fastened right?

Bridge

Chorus

(You’ll never see,
Where we could have gone,
Take on the world,
Weather any storm.)

(You’ll never hear,
From another song,
About my love,
Now you’ve done me wrong.)

On the horizon line I see,
A new ship coming in,
I got me a ticket now,
I’m free.
