Make the Pieces Fit

Trying to get it right, it's such a mystery
Like strangers in the night
Could be a travesty you're going through
'Cause your lines pour out

Like a waterfall of syncopated ad-libs
So carefully rehearsed it flows so smoothly
But you can't see through it
But when the pieces fit

It's unexplainable
The harmony in it, it's unobtainable
No matter who
You can buy you can sell

You can bargain for
One moment of bliss is worth a
Lifetime of regret but you won't know it
Hey if you don't show it
So make the pieces fit
Oh make the pieces fit

Let the mystique clear
And take another look
But it's gotta be inside you
You won't find it in a book

'Cause if it's growing in our heart
Hey then you've got yourself a start
Acting like a fool
It's just a cover-up

So play it by the rules
You've no need to cover what
You're going through
You may get no more
Than a quick goodbye

But don't you regret it, at least
You had a try and if you see it through
Oh you're gonna find the truth
So make the pieces fit
So make the pieces fit
So make the pieces fit
So make the pieces fit
