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
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 slow the crying

You'll take the clock off of your wall
And you'll wish 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
