Lyrics
Verse 1
Does anyone really take their chances
Is anything ever meant to be
Are we just thrown into the ocean
Or can we navigate this sea
Can?t make sense of it ? of how the pieces fit
Is it chance or fate that leads the way?
Chorus 1
Leaving me ? the piece that?s out of place
It?s written on my face
How could I let love pass me by
Just to be ? in your arms again
Before the hurt began
Would be the saving grace
For a piece that?s out of place
Verse 2
Could it be everything we hope for
Are only the things we really need
If wishes on stars could move the mountains
Would it mean anything to me?
If I could go back now ? I?d find a way somehow
To stay with you where I belong
Chorus 2
And never be ? the piece that?s out of place
It?s written on my face
How could I let love pass me by
Just to be in your arms again
Before the hurt began
Would be the saving grace
For a piece that?s out of place
Chorus
