lyrics

i think my heart's too big for this world
it doesn't fit here, i've been
sitting on the suitcase
trying to zip it up for years

i don't know where I belong
where can I sing my songs?
i could fit in anywhere
but I'm too big everywhere these days

where do I go
when i can't go home?
if home is a place
that i've never known
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting

oh my god, it's happening again
another day i've got to
feed myself all day and
think of things to say

i know that I'm adored, but
only at a distance
no one gets too close to me
i'm a fire
burning on the sun

where do I go
when i can't go home?
if home is a place
that i've never known
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
for me
baby
baby

i'm so big
i've got so much to give
my heart can't sit still anymore
I'm a steady stream
of songs and dreams
what a waste to waste me, lord

baby, i'm a baby grand piano
in an empty room
i was made to be played
to be played by you

so, use me
use me
put me to good use
use me
use me
for what i was made
to
do

where do I go
when I can't go home?
if home is a place
that i've never known
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
i could walk to the moon
baby, if i only knew who's up there waiting
i could walk to the moon
