12 Notes - Alec Benjamin

Read an article 'bout particles while sitting at the bar

How several dozen elements from several dozen stars

Made several combinations and that made us who we are

What starts out small and simple may become a work of art

So baby I went home to play these notes on my guitar

I sat down at the keys and tried to speak straight from my heart

Started small and simple tried to make a work of art for you

And after having sat there with my eyes closed

All night at my piano

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Now I know

No matter how far I go

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Twelve is not enough no baby

Twelve is not enough for you

I wrote an article that particles are not the centerpiece

That the center of my universe is you and now I see

That's why it's been so hard for me to write a melody

Why everything I sing for you just never feels complete

It never feels complete

And after having sat there with my eyes closed

All night at my piano

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Now I know

No matter how far I go

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Twelve is not enough no baby

Twelve is not enough for you

And I swear I'd do it

If it could be done

But you're more than music

You're the only one

After having sat there with my eyes closed

All night at my piano

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Now I know

No matter how far I go

I've come to find that twelve notes

Twelve is not enough to tell you just how much I love you baby

Twelve is not enough for you

Twelve is not enough no baby

Twelve is not enough for you
