Hawksley Workman’s “Piano Blink”

This is quite possibly the best song I’ve ever heard about breakups and heartbreaks. I wish this had come out a few years ago, rather than a week from now. It’s not on iTunes or in stores yet, but you can listen to it at the Hawksley Workman website; check out that link.

Let’s lie and say that it’s all right, it’s all right
Let’s lie and say that it’s all right when we fight together
Let’s say we’re happy even though, even though
Let’s be happy even though we know we’re both done tryin’

How would we know that we’d both end up cryin’
They say let go, I guess we’re still stuck tryin’
I get too nervous, I’m lost in this heartbreak
How long will this love keep me down

It started innocent at first, at first
It started with some sweetheart words that I strung together
And then we saw each other’s eyes, each other’s eyes
And it was like seeing the starry night for the very first time

Remember when we both said it’s forever
Come on, baby, were we just being clever
I get too nervous, I’m lost in this heartbreak
How long will this love take me down

Some things don’t softly go, but it’s over now
(Somebody, gonna hurt somebody) It’s over now

They say it happens all the time, all the time
That early love will make you blind as a sun eclipsin’
But we just drove past all the signs, all the signs
Not caring what the wise men say, what we might be missin’

How would we know that we’d both end up cryin’
They say let go, I guess we’re still stuck tryin’
I get too nervous, I’m lost in this heartbreak
How long will this love take me down

Somebody, gonna hurt somebody, gonna hurt somebody
