Ivory Keys

The cycle never ends
My friends stood me up again
So much for starting a band like I wanted
I felt like giving up
Just a musician down on her luck
Then at a solo gig
I saw you in the audience
And I know that it was more than
We both were in that coffee shop that day

I love how you play the ivory keys
You're the harmony to my melody
When no one believed in me
You were always rooting for my dreams

And after practice, you'd stay late
So we could go to that café
And soon it's eleven o'clock
'Cause you and I just l just talk and talk
Went from bandmates to best friends
With you, I don't have to pretend
To be somebody that I'm not
Used to have to do that a lot

I hope this never ends
You healed the wounds time couldn't mend
With all our living room band practice sessions
Got a gig near LA
At the hotel, we stayed up late
At the pool 'til about 10:07 p.m.
Now I know it was more than fate
We both were in that coffee shop that day

I love how you play the Ivory keys
You're the harmony to my melody
When no one believed in me
You were always rooting for my dreams

And after practice, you'd stay late
So we could go to that café
And soon it's eleven o'clock
'Cause you and I just l just talk and talk
Went from bandmates to best friends
With you, I don't have to pretend
To be somebody that I'm not
Used to have to do that a lot

I hope we're always friends
I hope that I see you often
Even when we both live in different cities
I'll be in town for Christmas break
I promise I won't make you wait
For too long, soon enough you'll see
Me standing outside on your street

I love how you play the Ivory keys
You're the harmony to my melody
When no one believed in me
You were always rooting for my dreams

And after practice, you'd stay late
So we could go to that café
And soon it's eleven o'clock
'Cause you and I just talk and talk
Went from bandmates to best friends
With you, I don't have to pretend
To be somebody that I'm not
Used to have to do that a lot
