Piano Man
I've got nowhere to go and this place
is nowhere I should be.
I can see it in your face forever isn't
what you see when you're looking at me.
I always try to run
because safe feels better
than when you leave
and done is all I become!
But, there's just something
in me that's held tight in your grip
I can't help but stare at the shape
my name gives your perfect lips.
I hear you calling my name
and each time I know tomorrow
I will never be the same.
But still I always run into
a just love me fight-
knowing its just to get you
through your lonely nights.
I listen to you play your piano
singing to me with a smile...
“girl take me home, sweet baby girl,
it's better than wondering around all alone"
and it's so sad knowing tonight
is all of me you'll ever want to know
and knowing all of this- still I dance for you,
Still, to you I always go!
And every time you kiss me you promise
everything will be alright, you promise
tomorrow you will call but, I know
it'll only be a call creeping towards the night!
