“Lego House”

By Ed Sheeran

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
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’ll mend you
And keep you sheltered from the storm
That’s raging on now

Chorus

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 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
And I’ll surrender up my heart
And swap it for yours

(Chorus)

Don’t hold me down
I think my braces are breaking
And it’s more than I can take

(Chorus)

In his latest single, “Lego House” Ed Sheeran sings about sticking by his girlfriend. He knows that they’ve been through some tough times and that there’ll be more to come, but he thinks they should stay together.
