So I'm waiting by a phone for the blessing ring

Like a holy grail for the fisher king

Time is ticking down like a metronome

Rhythm for my brain, and ceaseless scales

I never seem to play them to the beat I hear

Though my heartbeat is a beat that beats so near



So we had a talk last night about the heavy blow

That you dealt in fright, your back against the wall

It was a puzzle piece, important to the whole

That I may not find to place within that hole

I never seem to put them in the gaps I see

Like a puzzle with the pieces lost you need



(Chorus)

So I'm changing who I am

'Cause what I am is not good

And I know you love me now

But I don't see why you should

And I don't see why you should

No, I don't see why you should



So I drift into the air like a moth to light

Down the boulevard to a coffee shop

In the land of song, in the land of waits

My pen is bearing down on this lonely down

I never seem to write them down as good as him

Like I somewhere lost the keys that let me in



(Chorus)
