Sleeping On My Piano

I was gonna write you back
Now I write you back but write you back
You never wrote me
Thought if I wrote you something beautiful
Something so beautiful that you would know
I was gonna make it right
Black and white in black on white
Day and night
Minor chords to try to fix a major fight
But there’s another on your mind tonight

And I swore, I swore I was gonna get you back
But the thing is this song, this song is keeping us apart

I fell asleep on my piano, piano
Said I fell asleep on my piano
And the melody goes waitin', waitin', waitin' (For so long)
Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’ (Waitin')
And the melody goes waitin’, waitin’ waitin’ (For so long)
Waitin’, waitin’, waitin’

I was hoping to
Push a set of keys that could open you
Write a melody I could have spoken through
But all you gotta see that I'm broken too
We've been making memories
Now everything that's left is all these melodies
The pen and the paper turned to enemies
Just when I was trying to write our remedy

And I swore, I swore I was gonna get you back
But the thing is this song, this song is keeping us apart

I'll write you symphonies and novels, declaration of dependence
Testaments and bibles, just promise that you won't end this
Operas and odyseys, lullabies and poetry
Just to make you re-notice me, just to make you

Though I let you know
My timing is terrible, bought a metronome
Always thought a dissonance would get you home
The symphony's over, but I can't let you go
