She's walking, he's sitting He plays a dark C minor chord It's like the keyboard is his heart He hears the clock He hugs the cat— no He kicks the cat He pumps the volume higher A fire's just about to start Why can't, why can't I Why can't I find the key? Why can't I find the key? Door closes, he freezes He sees it's hard to end duets He lets his fingers feel the way He loves her, he's lost her He's hearing melancholy strings That sing the things that he can't say Why can't, why can't I Why can't I find the key? Why can't I find the key? He can't imagine what he should have said It's all been said and sounds cliché He's in the bridge between his head, which says it's dead And his heart, which says, don't let her get away She's gone now, he's singing He hears no two-part harmony He looks around, this can't be real Depression, a dark progression Why can he only sing it? What will it take to make him feel? Why can't, why can't I Why can't I find the key? Why can't I find the Why can't I find the Why can't I find the key? Why can't I find the key? Why, why can't I Why, why can't I Why, why can't I find the key Why can't I find the key And then somehow Somehow Somehow It ends
