Every Puzzle Has An Answer

You talk in riddles across the table

Coffee going cold between your hands

You say you’re “fine

” but your eyes are shaking

Like they’re trying to spell me a plan

You circle your hurt in circles

Never write the letters down

I’m tracing the space between us

Till the pattern finally shouts

Every puzzle has an answer

Even hearts that come in fragments

Lay your pieces on my shoulder

Let the corners find their matches

We can sit here till it’s over

Till the picture comes in clear

Every puzzle has an answer

I just hope it ends up here (with me)

Your doubts are scattered across the carpet

Little cardboard ghosts by your feet

You say you’re scared of the wrong solution

Of choosing the wrong you and me

But questions were made for asking

They’re not meant to make you drown

Let’s live in the mess together

Till the edges all fall into place somehow

Every puzzle has an answer

Even hearts that come in fragments

Lay your pieces on my shoulder

Let the corners find their matches

We can sit here till it’s over

Till the picture comes in clear

Every puzzle has an answer

I just hope it ends up here (with me)

What if the gap is perfect

What if the cracks belong

What if the missing moment

Was just the start of our song (oh)

Every puzzle has an answer

Even hearts that come in fragments

Lay your pieces on my shoulder

Let the corners find their matches

We can sit here till it’s over

Till the picture comes in clear

Every puzzle has an answer

If it’s you

Then I’m the key

Every puzzle has an answer

May the final one be me (be me)
