So What lyrics

Found an old puzzle somebody had quit

Tried a few pieces and hoped that they fit

But they're going together so slowly

It may take me forever to know

If it's only a puzzle

Parts of the puzzle will never be found

And even though pieces are gone

It's a county fair picture

Part of me's there

Some of the pieces are still at the fair

And it may be forever

Goin' through the motions

Tryin' not to snore

Didn't know the gun was loaded

Goin' through my motion

Caught without an oar

Someone said they all were phony

Time out, save the play

Try to make the lie last

Any old way we can

Signed out all the way

When you speak your mind out

Never say what you plan

I met her in the hallway

Bangin' on the door

There's a feeling I get when I look to the sky

As if someone is watching,

Someone hears every word.

We are filled with regrets, it was such a short time,

But we told Him we loved you, hoping somehow He heard.

We hoped He heard...

You were with us for a while and He took you,

and He made your mama cry.

I can see it in her eyes, there's a question as to why.

Making no deposit, no return

Making the same mistakes, we never learn

All of the pain in those faces

Trying not to show concern

Spent and broken

Like a worn out subway

Talking in the city

Hanging in the closet, wait in line

When you go by the laws, you pay the fine

I'm burning the candle at both ends

Twice the light in half the time

Damn the calling

Somewhere along the way I found the meaning,

woke up dreamin' along the way.

Never quite seems the same when you awakin',

and makin' up for the time you've such a price to pay,
and then they take the dream away, and it just ain't fair.

Help me thru the night Mama, help me to ease the pain.

Tell me it's alright, help me thru the night once again.

That's the danger in petending,
