Song lyrics
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

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.
(ahh... ahhh...)

This is fact 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 fact not fiction for the first time in years

Yes I discovered Death Cab with the help of The O.C. I think this song is so great, incredebly beautiful. Their songs are so easy to listen to and so simple but very good.

I can play this song. I learned it because it was so painfully relevant.

In other news: I am a rocker.

I rock out.

i would say that i love this song but it is my favourite. my "friend" who is very special to me actually asked me to play it at her funeral, if she dies first, and i have no idea the great response it would get as it is such a beautiful song, that would get them crying.. love what a concept. death cab for cutie rule. jake
