Turn the Picture Upside Down
[INTRO] (reversed vocal fragment) Look again... (bass drops) No. Look again. [VERSE 1] I thought I knew the story 'Cause I knew where I had been I thought I knew the villain I thought I knew the sin Then somebody turned the picture And I saw another frame Same room Same people Different kind of blame Funny how a mirror works Depending where you stand The thing you called a weakness Might have been the way you learned to understand [HOOK] Turn the picture upside down Look at it again What you thought was falling Might be learning how to bend Turn the picture upside down Nothing's what it seems Sometimes you have to lose the map To find out where you've been [VERSE 2] I called it abandonment You called it being free I called it complicated You called it what it needed to be I called myself the victim You called yourself the same Maybe we were both just standing In the middle of the frame I wanted you to understand me You wanted me to see That two people can be hurting And still disagree [CHOPPED VOCAL BREAK] Look again. Again. Again. (bass hit) Look... Again. [CHORUS] Turn the picture upside down Look at it again What you thought was ending Might be where it begins Turn the picture upside down Let the old truth bend Sometimes the only way forward Is to question where you've been [BRIDGE] (drums fracture into chopped samples) Maybe right ain't always right. Maybe wrong ain't always wrong. Maybe every side of the story Has been waiting for a song. Maybe love can look like leaving. Maybe fear can look like pride. Maybe the person you were fighting Was standing on the other side. (silence) Or maybe... You were both right. [GROOVE BREAK] (bass, chopped Rhodes, percussion) Turn it. Turn it. Turn it around. Don't throw the picture away. Just... turn it around. [FINAL CHORUS] Turn the picture upside down Look at it again What you thought was falling Might be learning how to bend Turn the picture upside down Let the old truth change Sometimes seeing differently Is the only way to see [OUTRO] (filtered vocal loop) Look again... Look again... Look again... (bass suddenly cuts) There. Now what do you see? (single Rhodes chord)
