An Ode to Lost Jigsaw Pieces (In Two Movements)

Movement I [Intro] If this is a siege, I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, I'll wait this out If this is a siege, I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, but I'm full of doubt [Verse] I awoke with a face like a crumpled plastic bag in a puddle When everyone in this town has a bag for life He said, my life is a total mess, it's 8PM and I'm not even dressed And oh how I miss your Prosecco-glazed lips I miss them like the majority of modern mainstream music Misses an original metaphor for missing someone I was so scared of confronting the world alone Fear put me in a headlock and dragged me back from the unknown [Chorus] So, if this is a siege, I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, but I'm full of doubt If this is a siege, I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, but I'm full of doubt I tried to defend our castle walls But the attack came from within the halls And they say that time heals so I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, but I'm full of doubt [Outro] I'll wait this out, I'll wait this out I'll wait this out, now I'll wait this out, I'll wait this out And I'll wait this out Movement II [Verse] I may backtrack on these words one day I may orphan what I'm about to say But in my chest, there's a thundering pain It feels like God's in there, having a migraine And this is tough, man I've lost more pieces of my jigsaw It don't seem worth making now, Nan They say you've gotta stay busy I'll keep, keep, keep my mind occupied on the here and now 'Cause you're not with me But that's okay, we'll cope somehow We all cope somehow We'll cope somehow [Outro] We'll cope somehow We all cope somehow We'll cope somehow! We all cope somehow!
