[Verse 1] Woke up asking the ceiling "Who am I these days?" Soda ring on my notebook Code bleeding onto the page I build little worlds on my desktop Stacked like houses on sand Pixel by pixel I puzzle it out Turn loose thoughts into plans [Chorus] I'm a patchwork of pieces Threads that don't quite align All these lives I been living In the same short span of time If you ask what name I answer It's more than what you see I'm a hundred quiet stories Stitched in the seams of me [Verse 2] I design secret levels Where heroes leap gap to gap Boss fights and cardboard kingdoms Dice tumbling over the map I still hear the chime of a high score Feel that pixel rush Tokens chipped at the corners Joystick grip and a late-night hush [Chorus] I'm a patchwork of pieces Threads that don't quite align All these lives I been living In the same short span of time If you ask what name I answer It's more than what you see I'm a hundred quiet stories Stitched in the seams of me [Verse 3] Starships on my bookshelf Dragons on the next shelf down Paper doors to other planets Ink-built castles and weathered towns I scribble cartoons in the margins Give my daydreams crooked eyes Turn a hallway into a panel Where the punchline always flies (hey!) [Verse 4] I write verses on napkins Hum choruses in the car Smuggle jokes across the table Aim for a groan Land on a laugh Not far Six grown kids round the table Still arguing who’s who I fire off one more classic clunker They boo Then say it’s true [Chorus] I'm a patchwork of pieces Threads that don't quite align All these lives I been living In the same short span of time If you ask what name I answer It's more than what you see I'm a hundred quiet stories Stitched in the seams of me [Bridge] I'm a brother in a crowded photo Six smiles fighting for the frame Old inside jokes like secret handshakes Each one calling out my name Road signs slide past the windshield Snacks scattered at my feet Every mile writes a little more meaning On this tired driver's seat (oh yeah) [Verse 5] And there's you in the passenger mirror Most wonderful thing I've known Laugh lines drawn like constellations Mapping how our love has grown When you reach across the console Take my hand Just 'cause you can I remember who I really am In the touch of your open hand [Chorus] I'm a patchwork of pieces Threads that finally align All these lives I been living And you're there in every line So if you ask what name I answer Here's the best of what is true I'm all those tangled stories And the one who belongs to you [Outro] So who am I in this moment? More than any single part Web and game Joke and story All held in a humble heart If you listen close You’ll hear it In the way I speak your name I'm the man who keeps becoming And loves you just the same
