Piano Lyrics by Nick Ward
(Feat. Glenn Gould)

Godspeed!
Waking up late from a bad sleep
Staying inside all alone
Used up all of my wishes, all of my wishes

What if one came down on my head?
You’d never see me again
All the things I’d give to play piano again
If I had hands I’d be tearing the piano to shreds
I think it’s time we put piano to bed

I cry sometimes, when I think about the wreckage
Your house is not a greeting card–Love is not an open flame!

Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it
Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it now
You gotta run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it now

Deadbeat, playing up a storm on the dead keys
Usually high and alone
Used up all of my wishes, all of my wishes
What if love came down on my head
You’d never see me again
There’s nothing that I would not give to play piano again

Gonna play it even in my head
Play piano til the keys go red
Gonna do whatever I want
A world opened in my head
It takes time to know what’s real in fake-life
Fingers in my head go: ♫

Overflowing signs of weakness, overflowing now

Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it
Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it now
Oh you gotta, run for cover, run for cover, run for cover, run for it now

Run for cover, run for cover, run for cover
Run for cover, run for cover…
