I don’t think you want me to answer,

if I do you will leave me behind,

you have the world to play and I only have one piano.

 

I can frame what I feel for you with my fists,

love with only half a hand

when you’re looking down at me.

 

I can smoke you like I’ll never be sober,

risk it all when I fall apart,

keep half of your serenity.

 

I can only make your face fall when I answer,

give too much when I’m not enough,

leave you in the sky when I’m standing still.

 

I could want a road that doesn’t end,

I don’t know what I want, too heavy

when you’re looking down at me.
