Hannah Lyrics
Do me this solid
If you would pretty lady
Please grab me a martini
And meet me on the balcony
I've prepared a light show
You could fake a melody
We could argue over where and when
the cymbal hits should be
Hannah takes the stairs
And I usually take the elevator
Every now and then she offers me
A lemon Now and Later
Please don't play the match maker
Please don't be a player hater
If you dig her recent work
You should go congratulate her
And if you're partial to the night sky
If you're vaguely attracted to rooftops
Hannah takes the stairs
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she right side up
Or upside-down?
So Hannah let your roots grow
Let your blue veins show
If I need to take a breath
Then you can take a trumpet solo
I'll work on the limbs if
You work on the torso
If it gets to be too much then
You can lend a helping hand
And if you're partial to the night sky
If you're vaguely attracted to rooftops
Hannah takes the stairs
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she right side up
Or upside-down?
Hannah takes the stairs
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she outside-in
Or inside out?
If you would pretty lady
Please grab me a martini
And meet me on the balcony
I've prepared a light show
You could fake a melody
We could argue over where and when
the cymbal hits should be
And I usually take the elevator
Every now and then she offers me
A lemon Now and Later
Please don't play the match maker
Please don't be a player hater
If you dig her recent work
You should go congratulate her
If you're vaguely attracted to rooftops
Hannah takes the stairs
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she right side up
Or upside-down?
Let your blue veins show
If I need to take a breath
Then you can take a trumpet solo
I'll work on the limbs if
You work on the torso
If it gets to be too much then
You can lend a helping hand
If you're vaguely attracted to rooftops
Hannah takes the stairs
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she right side up
Or upside-down?
Cause she can't tell that
its a winding spiral case
Is she outside-in
Or inside out?

Acctually I am glad they haven't been discovered. It isn't that they don't deserve it; it is just people now-a-day ruin music for others. They obssese to much or brag about it then the artist falls into the hands of the wrong people.
I have to say, I do agree with you. The thing I hate most, is when someone else that doesn't appreciate the lyrics or the music as much as you, starts singing it or just acting as if they love them sooo much when really they don't care. You're compleeeetely right :-)

i'm shocked this band hasn't got more recognition that it deserves. love this song, especially. :)
This band is amazing, and I truly hope they get noticed soon.

All that just for the "legs" to "veins" change?

I just love this song. It's one of my favorites from the CD.
And I too am totally surprised that they haven't gotten noticed yet!
I cannot stop listening to this song, I love it.
just got done watching the movie Hannah Takes the Stairs. I've been watching a lot of mumblecore pictures lately and I saw this title when searching around on Netflix and rented it just because of this song. It is clearly related; the name is too much too be a coincidence and the "trumpet solo" line pushes any chance of coincidence away.
so if you want to understand this hannah character, you need to watch the movie. if you don't care to get that in depth, that's cool but it's an interesting movie anyways.
Anyone know if this song's title/lyrics are related to the 2007 movie "Hannah Takes the Stairs"?
Anyone getting a HelloGoodbye feel? As for the "noticed" or not thing.. Well it was on either VH1 or MTV wen i jotted down the title. So tht prolly means tht b4 2 long they will have all the "notice" they can stand! haha
On another note..Gotta check out the movie I suppose,to get the full circle here. so thts wat I'll do! thnx for the 411 :)
such an amazing song and such an amazing movie. Hannah, I Love You.
I loved this song, so when I saw there was a movie titled "Hannah takes the Stairs" on Netflix, I jumped to watch it. The song is obviously based on this movie. It mentions a trumpet solo and even pulls the line, "I'll work on the limbs if you work on the torso" from the film. Didn't care for the movie so much, but watching it did help me appreciate the song even more.
