Lyrics:

The piano is not firewood yet

they try to remember but still they forget

that the heart beats in threes

just like a waltz

and nothing can stop you from dancing

rise from your cold hospital bed

you're not dying

everyone knows you're going to live

so you might as well start trying

the piano is not firewood yet

but the cold does get cold

so it soon might be that

I'll take it apart, call up my friends

and we'll warm up our hands by the fire

don't look so shocked

don't judge so harsh

you don't know

you are only spying

everyone knows it's going to hurt

but at least we'll get hurt trying

the piano is not firewood yet

but a heart can't be helped

and it gathers regret

someday you'll wake up and feel a great pain

and you'll miss every toy you ever owned

you'll want to go back

you'll wish you were small

nothing can slow the crying

you'll take the clock off of your wall

and you'll wish it was lying

love what you have and you'll have more love

you're not dying

everyone knows you're going to love

though there's still no cure for crying

The perfect interpenetration of animation, instrumentation, insight, and voice. Life moves us along so slowly that we don’t recognize the change until …. Rise from your cold hospital bed. I tell you, you’re not dying. Thank you R.

I love this it gets down to the nitty gritty of need and want. Sometimes life sucks and you've got to do what must be done and that usually takes you down a path you didn't want to go . But 'love what you have and you'll have more love.' Life goes on and on. Touches my heart every time. The first time i heard this was live and i sobbed like a little baby.

After my boyfriend broke up with me I was so hurt, but I went home and sang this and reminded myself that I'm not dying. I still sing it when I regret something from the past or remember him.

This is my favorite song from the album. I bawl like a baby every time. As an adult who was abused during childhood, the lyrics strike so many places in my being. Thank you, Regina, for putting some words that help describe how I feel oftentimes.

divorce, anorexia, stress, insomnia, heart break, change, death, but this piano is not fire wood yet:) it's not ok to pretend, especially not upstairs, it's ok you didn't go for it, it's one last thing you didn't lose to him:(

This made me want to take a walk on the clouds and let happiness rain down on earth. It's so true. And beyond beautiful.
