Could very well be about his daughter. These are very deep lyrics. I have always been blown away by the idea that the puzzle is a county fair picture and that the missing pieces are at the county fair! To retrieve them he would have to go back in time, go to the fair and find the pieces of a picture that hasn’t been taken yet! A self-referential paradox. And yet on a deeper level it resonates with all of us. We all have unresolved pain or loss from our past that we can never go back and fix. And it leaves us feeling incomplete an unfinished. Only God can heal those deep wounds.
