Lyrics-
I’ve been one to feel the chase
But those are lines upon my face
I didn’t notice before
And now I feel so out of place
My memory’s failing me
Maybe it’s telling me
Going back to 21
There was laughter there was fun
Without consequence
Then a life out on the run
It’s time to take stock of things
See what this crazy brings
I’m 1000 piece puzzle
Lived for today
Never to stop and think
Go pour another drink
Someone who would never stay
Met a girl of 25
There was sparkle in her eyes
I’ve never seen it before
She is all of my desires
I kept her locked away
Didn’t know what to say
Now I’m a man of 39
Something tells me that it’s time
When life is so still
Turn my back on all this crime
When love is a part of it
No place for silliness
I’m a 1000 piece puzzle
Always something to say
Careless words matter
Hearts they will shatter
Why didn’t I hold you that day
Use your head, use your mind
It’s the light that you’ll find
Find a way come what may
You got a girl, hey hey hey
She loves you with all her heart
And that’s a real good place to start
So put your running shoes away
I’m a 1000 piece puzzle
Live for today
When you see tears come
No more life on the run
Reach out and show her the way
I’m a 1000 piece puzzle
Lived for the past
Now she’s in front of you
Do what you’re willing to
Why don’t you make this one last
I’m a 1000 piece puzzle
It got me in trouble
The pieces they scatter away
I love you so what do you say.
