Building You

LETRA

Building You

Accidental meeting, winter's evening
We both try to get warm
I welcome your glance, that I caught just by chance
As you silently stand by the door

Your clothing never matches, you have a style all your
own
And your bag is laced with patches you sewed on at
home
You reach for your book as a man reads o?r your
shoulder
The words are so inviting now but will they still have
meaning when you?re older

Prechorus
?So you like reading?, I think to myself
As I lock eyes with you once again
You seem to get lost in the black on the page
Each word brings you closer to the end

Chorus
I have no idea who you are
No way of knowing where you?ve been
But I?ve been building you in my head
And you?re perfect

A pen appears, from your pocket
To highlight some words that caught your eye
And in the margin you write
?contradictory?
And then go on to explain why

I glance down at the bottom of the page
And see the word ?Sabbath? in the corner
?So you like religion?, I think to myself
And discretely move my way towards you

Your glasses reflect the words on the page
Or possibly just translate the thoughts in your head
The letters are backwards and hard to understand
That?s why thoughts are unspoken, we think them
instead

Prechorus
I hear you mutter under your breath
Possibly changed by the words you have seen
Although we will sleep in different beds
I?ll wake with the thought of you next to me

Chorus

Bridge
You have me mesmerized
Buried deep within your eyes
I can?t get my mind off you
I want to see into your soul
