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 broken I'll mend ya
And I 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 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
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 my braces are breaking
And it's more than I can take

And it's dark in a cold December
But I've got ya to keep me warm
If you're broken I will mend ya
And I 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

    My Interpretation

    My interpretation of this one is moreso about him trying to mend a broken down relationship, which was also once a strong friendship.

    Build a lego house - to me would mean it as something that can be knocked down, but still can be rebuilt again.

    Three words have two meanings - as a friend, as a lover. She is still there for him, and he will be there for her if she needed it

    I'm out of touch, I'm out of love - He doesn't know how to show his love for her anymore. He finds his ways of showing his affection for her to appear unexistent. But he wants to show her, and he thinks he will 'love her better' learning from his mistakes.

    I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind - She could have tried to distance herself from him, to try and get rid of those feelings, but he persists to carry on and promises he will make up for the mistakes.

    Paint you by numbers - Trying to make her fully happy again and feel complete because of him.

    Been here before - Self explanatory. He wants to give her his everything, in return for her trust to do the same.

    Don't hold me down - He can't accept 'just' being friends with her. He needs more.
