Lyrics

[Verse 1]
And when I see you
I really see you upside-down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you around
Turns you around
Turns you around
[Verse 2]
If you feel discouraged
When there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry, lover
It's really bursting at the seams
From absorbing everything
The spectrum's A to Z
[Verse 3]
This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
And all the girls in every girly magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone
[Bridge]
To call at 7:03
And on your machine, I slur a plea for you to come home
But I know it's too late
And I should have given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
Given you a reason to stay
[Outro]
This is fact not fiction
For the first time in years
