Lego House

Ed Sheeran · Now That's What I Call Music, Vol. 40 [2012]

I'm gonna pick up the pieces and build a Lego house

If things go wrong we can knock it down

My three words have two meanings but there's one thing on my mind

It's all for you



And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend ya

And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now



I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now, now



I'm gonna paint you by numbers and colour you in

If things go right we can frame it and put you on a wall

And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before

Now I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours



I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now



Don't hold me down

I think the braces are breaking and it's more than I can take



And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got you to keep me warm

If you're broken I will mend ya

And keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on, now



I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind,

I'll do it all for you in time

And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now

I'm out of touch, I'm out of love

I'll pick you up when you're getting down

And out of all these things I've done, I will love you better now
