8.A Lack of Color

Lyricist:Benjamin Gibbard

And when I see you
I really see you upside down
But my brain knows better
It picks you up and turns you 'round
Turns you 'round, turns you 'round

If you feel discouraged
When there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
Absorbing everything, the spectrum's A to Z

This is facts not fiction
For the first time in years

All the girls in every girlie magazine
Can't make me feel any less alone
I'm reaching for the phone 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

This is facts not fiction
For the first time in years
