The song frames a partnership as two incomplete pieces that only make sense together.

The gallery metaphor could feel academic, but the band keeps it grounded by making the art pieces talk back to each other.
'I will try to paint you, make some symmetry' turns admiration into a mutual project.

hopelessly together

The phrase 'hopelessly together' does a lot of work here. It's not just romantic, it suggests these two pieces can't function separately, which the song spells out directly: 'What are these works of art worth when apart? Nothing much it seems.'
That phrase captures the whole song's argument without needing more explanation. It's not just about being in love, it's about being structurally incomplete without the other piece.
The way the song shifts from 'you are a work of art' to 'it is your work of art that people come to see, it's me' sticks with you.

You are a work of art-the rarest find this man has
seen-quite possibly a treasure and I’m you’re work
of art-your favorite work in progress to see the
light of day and it’s right on display
The exhibitions begun The attention to detail: extraordinary And now since you’ve painted me I will try to paint you-make some symmetry
Hail to the skill-the patterns used in this piece-the ongoing themes in this work of art
What are these works of art worth when apart?
Nothing much it seems they’re hopelessly together and
it is your work of art that people come to see-it’s me
once empty now filled to the brim
