lyrics

Come on darling, the door's still open.
The lights are off. No one's awake.
I won't leave with anything that isn't mine.
There's nothing here that I want to take.
And we know that it's right, but you tell me it's wrong.
So darling, can I play you a song?

Now your sisters are asleep up the stairs
and your family history hangs on the wall.
You kissed me twice in the doorway
and you tell me tomorrow you'll call.
But the piano's right here and it won't take too long.
So darling, can I play you a song?

Now your mother, she won't cook all your meals.
Oh, and she'll stop cleaning up when you're done.
Cause you never think twice about your messes
when you think being careless is fun.
And I take it to heart when you're turning me on.
So darling, can I play you a song?

ust let my hands touch the keys.
Let me give you an introduction soft and slow.
There's plenty of room on this piano bench
or would you rather I turn around and go?
Cause I've got enough breath to sing through the dawn.
So darling, can I play you a song?

Now it seems, my fate's been sealed.
I'm walking where the streetlights don't burn.
But I gotta good pair of boots and I know my way.
But there's still a few chords I gotta learn.
And tomorrow will come when the sunrise is gone.
And maybe next time I will play you a song.

Maybe next time I will play you a song.
