The Puzzle

Lyrics

It's been a typical fall in Portland But I don't think it rained at all today Still, it feels like I've been Wearing a wet pair of jeans; Something is rubbing me The wrong way I still can't believe all that I've seen Lately I've been anything but direct So can I just spell this out Or will I lose some respect? I've been having doubts About the last few years In case you don't like blunt Let me make this less clear I've been picking apart The puzzle I've been working on And from what I see from here There is no point in carrying on I've been picking apart Picking apart all night long And suddenly, my biggest fear: I'll never stop picking apart The puzzle I've been working on I've got a job to do But my well's run dry My mind is wandering now Like a lazy eye I'm kicking water uphill My gains are so small Elevated by a stage I still feel two feet tall... But I suppose that's the point of it all; So we can get back up When we lose footing and fall I'm a little embarrassed My cheeks kinda burn It seems the lesson I wrote Is one I've still yet to learn I still can't believe all that I've seen I can't believe who I used to be I've been picking apart The puzzle I've been working on And from what I see from here There is no point in carrying on I've been picking apart Been picked apart all night long And suddenly, my biggest fear: I'll never stop picking apart The puzzle I've been working on I've been picking apart The puzzle I've been working on And from what I see from here There is no point in carrying on I've been picking apart Picking apart all night long And suddenly, my biggest fear: I'll never stop picking apart The puzzle I've been working on ...been picking apart The puzzle I've been working on Only one thing's become quite clear: I see no point in carrying on I've been picking apart Been picked apart all night long Suddenly, my biggest fear: I'll never stop picking apart The puzzle I've been working on
