Corazon
By the school, on the street
You were dropped of with a sign
"This piano is free"
You didn't look free to me
Cast aside, obsolete
Since they canceled music class
You'd been a refugee
But now I'll give you a home
Corazon
So I pushed and I heaved
But your weight bore down like I could not believe
Had you accepted defeat?
Till the crowd gathered round put away their goings on
And hunkered down and they were cheering you on, Corazon
Corazon
And the expert, with his tools
Said "to bring it up to patch"
We'd snap the sucker in two
I guess we're tuning to you
So I pulled up a seat and
I swear I felt a pulse beneath your keys
To urge your hammers along
Corazon
I was caught, I was stuck
And my thoughts couldn't bind and deepening the rut
Until your first chord struck
Now I search on my shore
But my God you've given another chance to love
And now I'll give you a home
Corazon
By the school, on the street

You didn't look free to me

You'd been a refugee
But now I'll give you a home

But your weight bore down like I could not believe

But my God you've given another chance to love
And now I'll give you a home

This song is about a piano the band found that was just being thrown away outside of their practice space in Brooklyn. An artistic rendering of it is on the cover of their January EP. The Piano was basically already destroyed and would break if it was properly tuned because it was in that bad of shape, but apparently really helped in the writing of their songs for their EP a month project in 2006.
