Lyrics


Missing Piece

I wanna write myself

On the walls of your heart

Because the knot that holds us

Altogether throws us all apart

I'm gonna stop myself

Before I say something true

Because the answers

That roll from my tongue

Are nothing to do with you


And I hold a piece up to the light

Hold a piece up to my eye

Found a missing piece from my set

Found a person I'd not met

Hold a piece up to the light

Hold a piece up to my eye

Found a missing piece from my set

Found a person I'd not met


Sometimes is a lonely place

So tow me over to the light

The sound, the sound it is in sight

Found my heart was contained within a cell

Found my heart in this tuck-a-way-me world


I hold a piece up to the light

Hold a piece up to my eye

Found a missing piece from my set

Found a person I'd not met


Sometimes is a lonely place

Sometimes I held the missing piece
