"Okay Piano Guy" lyrics

"Okay Piano Guy"

Four years ago
At that bar in Brooklyn
You were singing along to Carole King
I said that's the first song I ever learned how to play
And you laughed and didn't say anything
So I said I'd love to play it with you sometime
And you said "okay piano guy"
What I wouldn't give to sing it with you one more time

That first night on Franklin
In our empty apartment
Just a piano that was so out of tune
We drank wine out of coffee cups
Watched movies on a laptop
And ate pad thai like finger food
You insisted I played
And you danced round the place
Did cartwheels in the kitchen
With that smile on your face
We didn't know what would happen
But it could all be okay
If you just kept dancing
And I just kept playing

Na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na

Standing on the edge of my dreams
In a room built for basketball teams
Everyone singing along but in my head
It's just you and the piano and me
Right then did you already know?
You were living a life you were meant to outgrow
Dimming your light to leave room for the nights
Being mine made you less of your own

Last night alone at your grandparent's place
Drinking wine out of glasses from their wedding day
Moon prints in my palms
From holding on too strong
To a moment
That's probably
Already gone

I'd love to be wrong
For as long as I can
Stare at your baby pictures
On their baby grand
You sing You've Got a Friend
I don't want it to end
So I play the wrong chords
To hear the chorus again

Can you just keep dancing
The way that you do
And I'll just keep playing
And looking at you
Can you sing it to me one more time?
Can I always be your piano guy?
Can I always be your piano guy?
Can I always be your piano guy?
