A man's too keen to sell what I don't need
The rain, it falls down up off the street
So many people, how could they all exist?
It gets me thinking, but I shouldn't think like this

I'm in danger of getting so lost
But then again is that part of the plot?
So many people, whose problems I can't read
It gets me thinking, do they question the same thing?

'Cause I can't take it all at the same time, same time
It comes like a flood that swallows you alive, live, live
But suddenly, it'll cut you free and point you to an empty space
'Cause my everything's just a puzzle piece
Of what is actually happening, actually happening here

This woman here has sadness in her eyes
They pull me in, but I can't see inside
She has a life she leads, but it's nothing to do with me
So how can I understand what I can't even see?

'Cause I can't take it all at the same time, same time
It comes like a flood that swallows you alive, live, live
But suddenly, it'll cut you free and point you to an empty space
'Cause my everything's just a puzzle piece
Of what is actually happening, actually happening here

'Cause I can't take it all at the same time, same time
It comes like a flood that swallows you alive, live
But suddenly, it'll cut you free and point you to an empty space
'Cause my everything's just a puzzle piece
Of what is actually happening, actually happening here

These thoughts will weigh me down 'til I can't breathe
I'll slot myself back in the puzzle where I should be
Where I should be
