• I carry this piano on my back
    I've been trying to think about you less these days
    There's music everywhere if you listen closely
    or at least that's what everybody else says.

    I've been trying to think about you less these days
    If I'm successful, that means it wasn't love
    or at least that's what everybody else says
    To me, the lines of demarcation seem quite blurred.

    If I'm successful, that means it wasn't love
    and I'm practicing two hours a day
    To me, the lines of demarcation seem quite blurred
    When will I be able to really play?

    I'm practicing two hours a day
    Eighty eight divided by two colors
    When I will be able to play
    I'll show you what I meant by white and black.

    Eighty eight divided by two colors
    Hard work and moral ambiguity don't mix
    I'll show you what I meant by white and black
    and carry this piano on my back.
