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!
