I am black keys scattered and afraid
sounds like our notes could never agree
Perfectly ivory
play me something happy

The eyes that trace cedar and feel melody
or those that just stare and never agree
Perfectly ivory
Play me something happy

Finding the note to end on
21 years and the same selfish song
God put you in my piano love dreams
All of my warm words are coming out mean

Finding the note to end on
21 years and the same selfish song
God put you in my piano love dreams
So don't wake me up while I sleep

Woke up alone again
and I traced the sheets to find you'd left
left side of my bed, left side of my chest
wanted something bigger than myself
and if I could take care of you, taking care of me
we could be so happy
promise me that you're
promise me that you're
promise me that you're happy
(Perfectly ivory, play me something happy)

the hardest part of this is
the hardest part of this is
the hardest part of this is
letting go
