When I Build My Masterpiece

by TheRapture03   Apr 29, 2009


The road is long and the sun is hot
The summer asphalt still is steaming
I open my door and what I got
Is a message still gleaming

It's a message from a lover
One I saw not too long ago
A message from another
Another girl I wanna know

I've got my pen and my paper, and my paint, still every drop
But when I build my masterpiece, you'll be nowhere near the top

While the summer still burns me
I wanna get all that I can
And I don't want you to know
That I've been her man

While I walk along my lonely street
I know that my mind is mistaken
While I walk along this lonely street
My heart has been awakened

I've got my pen and my paper, and my paint, still every drop
But when I build my masterpiece, you'll be nowhere near the top
I've got my head buried in my pocket, and you make my heart stop
And though I paint my masterpiece, you are nowhere near the top

The summer night is coming down
The cool wind in my hair
I know you don't know I'm with her
I don't want you to think I care

I've got my pen and my paper, and my paint, still every drop
But when I build my masterpiece, you'll be nowhere near the top
I've got my pen and my paper, and your heart is on the clock
But when I build my masterpiece, I hope you're nowhere near the top

    An enjoyable read that as Sourav said is similar to a song, good rhythm and wording.

    I feel this sounds more like song. It's like lyric. Ami I wrong? Nice reading!
