Hopeless

Chapter 22 part 2

Phoenix's POV

Once we had recorded "Let It Go," I decided that I would give the team a break and let them go. It was getting late, and I knew they were exhausted. The lads were still here, and since they were my ride here, I had no other way to get home. Before they left, I had Josh teach me how to unmute myself, which volume knob was mine, and what the standard volume was for me.

I wandered around the studio for a few minutes, waiting for the right kind of inspiration to hit me. Since nothing came, I grabbed one of the stools and sat on it with my guitar in hand. When no inspiration comes, I usually just find another song to play. Randomly, my fingers starting strumming the opening to Lego House on their own. Going along with it, because there was nothing else to do, I sang to it.

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 things on my mind

It's all for you

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

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

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

And 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 think I love you better now
