lyrics

With my back to Lucille as she sleeps on the bed
I feel the piano, it’s gone to my head
It’s three in the morning, so follows the chord
I’m supposed to be dancing undone and adored

Oh why am I terrified to call Minuet,
Kindling’s confetti when the matches are wet

And I’ve tried my best to understand it
Yes I’ve tried my best to understand it

I once had a locker of drawings I’d made
So many hours of labor I paid
I had no padlock, my papers were free
But my system of honor one day betrayed me

For at the end of the hallway, on the number I’d known
I found a padlock that wasn’t my own

And I’ve tried my best to understand it
Yeah I’ve tried my best to understand it

I look at the dogwood tree
As the sun creeps up over the city
Starling flies on the breeze
Singing so beautifully

And I’ve tried my best to understand it
Yeah I’ve tried my best to understand it

Yeah I’ve tried, yeah I’ve tried, yeah I’ve tried

I once had a locker of drawings I’d made
So many hours of labor I paid
I had no padlock, my papers were free
But my system of honor one day betrayed me
