Bits and Pieces (Lyrics)

Little things are now all that remain Fragmented memories and small hand-prints in clay Forgotten days and secrets never shared You showed me, I showed you too, I kissed you on a dare But how could children understand? How families split; white lines in sand. But she left him and took you too. Time heals, but couldn't save this And no one had to explain it The day they found her body laying there And in night it all comes back Bits of happy. Bits of sad. And all these pieces just fade away 'Till all that's left are small hand-prints in clay. Fast forward, health class '88 sitting in this room so close, yet so far away. Older faces hardly recognized. Just a few awkward 'hellos' behind these knowing eyes. But now our t-shirts didn't match. You wore White Snake, I wore The Clash. Were you in trouble? I heard some things… A new school-boy every year One more person, now you disappear Hope you found what you were looking for. And in night it all comes back Bits of happy. Bits of sad. And all these pieces just fade away 'Till all that's left are small hand-prints in clay. And in this plaid-shirt, shades of gray In this, we've got our roles to play And life never ends on happy scenes These stories move for some of us Who would you be if you could change it What good would it do now anyway? And in night it all comes back Bits of happy. Bits of sad. And all these pieces just fade away 'Till all that's left are small hand-prints in clay. One day these pieces will fade away 'Till all that's left are small hand-prints in clay.
