88 Keys
by Cest-La-Vie on July 30, 2010This wasn't where I was planning on going with this. Although I see there being two meanings, and, even though the 2nd meaning is still not what I was originally going for, it's a big aspect of my life.
(2 meanings.. I guess they are both the same meaning, but "she" would be two different things)
=================
The piano that I never learned to play
Is staring me down
Like a portrait in a manteled frame
It's all the same
I could play you only if I knew how
But I can't
Don't you know how much I want it now
I love the sound
There's eighty eight keys to her heart
But I only hold thirteen
And I ask myself where can I start
But I can't say anything to me
Everything she sees is all in black and white
It's tearing me down
I just wish I could be in the light
It'd be alright
Those missing keys just haunt me more and more
I've gone mad
How do I get my feet off this floor
And out the door
There's eighty eight keys to her heart
But I only hold thirteen
And I ask myself where can I start
But I can't say anything
I wonder how I got this far
And made it no where, it seems
Where would I be if I could part
Of all of these foolish dreams
And I ask myself where can I start
But I can't say anything
