lyrics
I waited seven years
I shed exactly eleven tears
Before they shipped me off
To the land of Rachmaninov
Ten hours every day
I would sit on that bench and play
Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach
I barely ate, I forgot how to talk, yeah.
I waited seven years, before by the pressure of peers
I entered my high school talent show
That spotlight shown so bright, but I managed to play it right
I entered my school hall of fame.
Piano prodigy, fingers flying all over the keys
Can you keep playing without a light?
Piano prodigy, will you write me a symphony?
Those skills with those trills are just out of sight.
I waited seven years, before confirming my parents' fears
I saw a guitar from so far away.
Those strings they shown so bright
and I managed to play it right
I entered the world hall of fame.
Piano prodigy, fingers flying all over the keys
Can you keep playing without a light?
Piano prodigy, will you write me a symphony?
Those skills with those trills are just out of sight.
I waited seven years
I shed exactly eleven tears
Before they shipped me off
To the land of Rachmaninov
Ten hours every day
I would sit on that bench and play
Beethoven, Mozart, and Bach
I barely ate, I forgot how to talk, yeah.
Piano prodigy, fingers flying all over the keys
Can you keep playing without a light?
Piano prodigy, will you write me a symphony?
Your skills with those trills are just out of sight.
