The Time Traveller's Wife the Musical - Masterpiece Lyrics


The song is written by Joss Stone and Dave Stewart. Sung by Joanna Woodward.

CLARE:
These hands can mold a sculpture
While holding so much pain
With just ordinary paper
I can make it sing my name
My art gave me the answers
And never needed to explain
Why it feels so healing
To let the watercolors rain

My masterpiece
Something I've always seen
Letting me fly freely
I know that it's meant to be

(Chorus:)
I built it up,
I broke it down
You shook my soul,
Embraced my sound
It's perfect now
You've come back around
This is my masterpiece

I haven't seen you in a long while
Some memories start to fade
But those sketches on your perfect smile
Never went away
I wrote you letters daily
And I feel they go to waste
Now you're right in front of me
And you look at me that way
Well, here we are, shame on me
I should've never lost the faith

My masterpiece
Now that you're here with me
Together, we fly so freely
Is it meant to be?

(Chorus:)
I built it up,
I broke it down
You shook my soul,
Embraced my sound
It's perfect now
You've come back around
This is my masterpiece
Won't you come fly with me?

(spoken:)
Okay, let's deal with the weird stuff right away,
You time travel
I know this because you've been travelling
To me since I was a kid
I kept a diary of every time
You came to visit me
Then, I didn't see you for years until today

HENRY:
My head is spinning
Spinning, spinning
Now I'm spinning, spinning, spinning
Spinning, spinning, spinning

HENRY & CLARE:
Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning
Spinning, spinning, spinning

HENRY: (spoken)
I travelled to you this much

CLARE: (spoken)
Yeah, you stood up for me
You were the first person
To call me an artist
It meant everything

My masterpiece
It doesn't master me

(Chorus:)
I built it up,
I broke it down
You shook my soul,
Embraced my sound
It's perfect now
You've come back around
This is my masterpiece
Oh, won't you come fly with me?

Built it up, broke it down
My masterpiece
