Eighty​-​Eight Keys

from Stereo Goes Stellar by Stereo Goes Stellar

/

lyrics

She said, "Eighty-eight keys, yeah that's all you need,
When you don't know what to say you just play what you mean,
And when you don't know what to do, do what you need,
To find your eighty-eight keys."

See, there was this girl, she did as she pleased,
But she'd do anything to see me play the eighty-eight keys,
She had it all, she was cute as could be,
She said "I'll stick around if you sing to me."

I said, "Oh, I swear I've got it in me, if you could hear me out,
I could sing to you forever, and I'm starting now,
Oh, no, you're too far to listen, but if you'd hear me out,
I would sing to you forever, and I'm starting now."

And when the world spun around, that's when she had to leave,
Because there were bigger things ahead in the life she'd lead,
I thought I played it all wrong, or my voice was too weak,
I said, "What's the point in these stupid keys?"

But when there's places to go, and there's people to see,
Then I suppose that it was easy to forget about me,
And when she left this town and the emptiness peaked,
I found my eighty-eight keys.
