If You Sell The Piano is about discovering the last physical artefact of an old relationship listed for sale. The emotions attached to the piano are old news but putting a price on something so sentimental can still cut deep.

lyrics

I see you’re selling your piano
You’d hand it over if it’s going to a good home
We had it since we were beginners
How many times did we play that song,

I still remember
The look that you gave
When your favourite room had enough floor space,
I still remember
All the things that you saved,
Now I can see them in a box on the driveway

Do you think you're gonna let me go
Trying to tell me it’s natural
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
I don't need you to be there to hold
No all I want to know is
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano

I never cared too much for flowers
 All of the details that are hidden the background 
You'd buy a book and tell me how it 
Would take you somewhere no one else can find

I still remember all of these things,
'cos they decorate the shelves in my bedroom

Do you think you're gonna let me go
Trying to tell me it’s natural
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
I don't need you to be there to hold
No all I want to know is
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
 Isn't there space halfway? Somewhere that I can stay
 Coz I don’t wanna leave it on the driveway

Do you think you're gonna let me go
Trying to tell me it’s natural
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
I don't need you to be there to hold
No all I want to know is
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano  Do you think you're gonna let me go
Trying to tell me it’s natural
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
We made something out of every note No all I want to know is
Are you really gonna let me go
If you sell the piano
