[00:01.309]The piano key is chipped and white,
[00:04.200]The metronome is out of time,
[00:07.182]I play the notes and that's alright,
[00:09.982]The melody is truly mine.
[00:12.491]The path I mapped broke at the bend,
[00:15.382]The house I built would never blend,
[00:17.927]I kept the seeds but lost the date,
[00:20.764]The garden came a season late.
[00:22.418]A dented drum still keeps the beat,
[00:26.955]An off-key voice can sound so sweet,
[00:29.755]So I'll accept the crooked line,
[00:32.700]And let the story still be mine.
[00:34.227]A dented drum still keeps the beat,
[00:38.427]An off-key voice can sound so sweet,
[00:41.336]I'll love the way the branches bend,
[00:44.191]And not demand a perfect end.
