[Verse 1] 8 a.m. You practiced piano for twelve minutes I think God heard me I stood there in the kitchen Coffee going cold Afraid to make a single sound Afraid you’d lose the flow [Pre-Chorus] No reminders No bargaining No “just five more” from me I saw your hands stay on the keys And briefly found religion [Chorus] Twelve minutes Twelve whole minutes I asked for a sign Apparently this is it Twelve minutes Don’t get greedy Some miracles are small And slightly out of tune [Verse 2] I didn’t take a picture Didn’t call your dad Didn’t text the family group “Something strange just happened” I simply watched from afar Like filming wildlife Rare behavior in its habitat Best not to interfere [Chorus] Twelve minutes Twelve whole minutes I asked for a sign Apparently this is it Twelve minutes Don’t get greedy The universe said, “Here” I said, “Okay, I’ll take it” [Outro] 8:12 You closed the piano I said nothing I’m learning Not to push my luck
