Lyrics

how are you doin with all your changin.
are you thinkin you might be sinkin
maybe taking things and rearrangin
you wreck and then you mend..in stages

we learn it all happens for a reason
God rains on good and evil in a season
that's the strange thing and unchangin
we wreck an then we mend in all these stages

Its all in Bits & Pieces
but its comin back to me ..its all in
Bits & Pieces of all the things that I cant see
So i will hold a lighted candle
to the corner of my soul
I wreck and then I mend but I don't remember me at all

woke up early sunday morning
alarm clock buzzin out a warnin
downtown late somethin happened
the paper said the man had a bottle in his hand and he was dead


Its all in Bits & Pieces
but its comin back to me ..its all in
Bits & Pieces of all the things that I cant see
So i will hold a lighted candle
to the corner of my soul
I wreck and then I mend but I don't remember me at all

Its all in Bits & Pieces
but its comin back to me ..its all in
Bits & Pieces of all the things that I cant see
So i will hold a lighted candle
to the corner of my soul
I wreck and then I mend but I don't remember me at all
