Joey Contreras, Ben Fankhauser - In Pieces lyrics

I know I'm breaking every rule but
I can't keep skipping through this life
You lay there so quietly and I
Know you won't listen but I’ll try

‘Cause people come and people go riding high
Escape the low
Running away when it ain't so easy

So before you leave in the morning
I just have to know

That even though this won't last forever
And our lives are only passing through
Could I be more than another
Person off your list to do?

Or can we only love only love
Only love in pieces?

Tired of closing each chapter all on my own
There may be two or three of you and me
But a warm bed doesn't mean I'm not alone
I'm not alone, no we do a dance
We do it well close enough
But never tell
Anything that's gonna be misleading

So before we act like it's nothing
I just have to know

That even though this won't last forever
And our lives are only passing through
Could I be more than another
Person off your list to do?

Or must we only love only love
Only love in pieces?

Can we only love only love
Only love in pieces?

I'm not saying I'm incomplete
Not desperately asking why
But how are we constantly
Just chasing a momentary high?
We all need a connection
And I bet if you let me right in
You'd see more than pieces
All these leases for our lives

Even though this won't last forever (oh)
And our lives are only passing through
(passing though)
I could be more than another
Person off your list to do?

But we only love only love
Only love in pieces

Can we only love only love
Only love in pieces?

I’m worth more than pieces

Oh, oh, oh, no you never know
Oh, oh, oh, no you never know
Oh, oh, oh, no you never know oh, oh, oh, no
