lyrics

It's like a puzzle with missing pieces when he goes up and down the main street
And he doesn't know the address but he wants to find this sadness
And he knows that when he gets there he'll be met with that intense stare
But he can't break it now or he'll be gone

When he sees her smiling face, he'll understand why she's been gone
For so long, and she won't be coming back to him tomorrow

When he comes up to the front door, he sees all that he's seen before
It's all the same, to tell the truth, but now he smiles and that is new
He doesn't understand what this is all about
But that's okay with him at least for now

When he sees her smiling face, he'll understand why she's been gone
For so long and she won't be coming back to him tomorrow

I can see my time has come now
I don't want to be a breakdown
I can see my time has come now
I don't want to be a breakdown
It runs on in the family, you see
(I can see my time has come now)
I want to break that sad consistency
(I don't want to be a breakdown)
It runs on in the family, you see
(I can see my time has come now)
I want to break that sad consistency
(I don't want to be a breakdown)

It's like a puzzle with missing pieces when he goes up and down the main street
And he doesn't know the address, but he wants to find this sadness
And he knows that when he gets there, he'll be met with that intense stare
But he can't break it now or he'll be gone
He'll be gone
