Colin Munroe - Piano Lessons lyrics

rate me

Don't bet on me I'm a long shot.

I'm a long shot

Maybe it's the fault of way I

was raised on my bed in my room til

I reached ninth grade all by myself

with days to dream away, yeah

It was there that I met keys and a drum set

in the basement, played them hot til I sweat

and due to this day

When I was ten they said,"Son go and take piano lessons,"

When I was twelve,"I said I'd take them no more."

They said,"Son you fail at life if you fail piano lessons."

I said,"So beat it and walked out the door."

Don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

I might bet a million to one.

So don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

But in a million i might be the one.

the one

I guess it was then that I said they were wrong

that I don't need these skills to help me write a song

I'm fine on my own.

So just stand by, watch me fail or watch me fly the

way i'm goin. Some day you'll sing along.

When I was ten they said,"Son go and take piano lessons,"

When I was twelve,"I said I'd take them no more."

They said,"Son you fail at life if you fail piano lessons."

I said,"So beat it and walked out the door."

Don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

I might bet a million to one.

So don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

But in a million I might be the one.

the one

Yup, and that's exactly what she was,

stroked the keys ever so gently with her fingers what she does.

Finesse is the perfect word to describe her manafescense

She was well after perfection at every piano lesson

and C's sounded like B's, B's sounded like A's

Carpal Tunnel told her to leave, but she wanted to stay.

Her friends said that was weak but she wanted to play.

This is what she wants to be, so every other day turned

into every night so those mistakes I once heard,

sort faded away like those corny friends of hers.

I know because I watched from outside the window

as she sat in front of that grand piano, her teacher

stood up and then he clapped

So proud of his pupil that wouldn't give into her haters

And shorty's playlist consists of Wolfgang Amadeus,

Mozart, Beethoven - yeah my baby havin fun.

But of course I had to scoop her out,

of a million she's the one.

So, Don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

I might bet a million to one.

So don't bet on me I'm a longshot,

But in a million I might be the one.

Don't bet on me, I'm a long shot.
