A Lack Of Colour

When i see you

I really see you upside down

But my brain knows better

It picks you up and turns you around

If you feel discouraged

That there’s a lack of color here

Please don’t worry lover

It’s really bursting at the seems

Absorbing everything

The spectrum’s a to z

This fact not fiction

For the first time in years

And 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

I should have given you a reason to stay
