Lego House
Fabian clicked a little button on his computer monitor that said, "Record." He sat back, grabbed his guitar, took a deep breath, and started singing.
I'm gonna pick up the pieces,
And build a Lego house
When things go wrong we can knock it down
My three words have two meanings,
There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you
And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broke I'll 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 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 gonna paint you by numbers and color 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
And 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 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 my braces are breaking and it's more than I can take
And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm
And if you're broke I'll 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 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
He relaxed in his chair, and hit playback. He went through and fixed a few little problems, and 20 minutes later, Fabian was pressing the send button. He had to send this to Nina.
*Ping!* Nina's computer went off. It was from Fabian. There was an attachment titled Lego House, maybe it was a cool video? She opened it up, and started listening. Fabian had played this song for her the night before school ended! And now she has it recorded. She was smiling to herself like crazy while listening to it the first time. And the second time… and the third time….
