[The s...
[Part I: Over-the-Ocean Call]
[Intro]
Turn out so I've nothin' in the corner (No)
Please, just— (No, hold on, I'm—, hold on)
Alright, you just back off, back up
Now we're gonna start
Five to seven days
Alright
[Verse 1]
Does this make sense to you?
'Cause it doesn't make sense to me
Does this have weight for you?
'Cause it doesn't have weight for me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I'll call you anyway
Call Collect, 'cause baby this is
[Chorus]
An over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
And I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
[Verse 2]
I needed space from you
But this doesn't look like space to me, oh
And you hate the things I do
And sometimes you hate me
[Pre-Chorus]
But I think my mind is far away
Sort of strange, this is
But I think I'll call you anyway
Call Collect, 'cause baby this is
[Chorus]
An over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I can't hide it
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
I can't hide it
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
[Bridge]
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone, I
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone, I
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine
I'll call from over the ocean
This time, this time, this time
I'll break your heart through the phone
[Chorus]
With an over-the-ocean call
And I thought I could make it short
But my brain's all out of sorts
I'm staring at my wall
And I thought that I wouldn't cry
But breaking your heart breaks mine
An over-the-ocean call
Is how I told him
This isn't working anymore
[Part II: Andrew]
[Verse]
Let me count all the freckles
On your arms alone
Let me smooth out the wrinkles
In the nicest shirt you own
Oh, to love you is sweet like a peach
I think your laugh is my cure
Oh, to love you is summer in reach
Kiss me and tell me I'm yours
[Chorus]
Andrew, I'm falling
Without a warning
Until the morning
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Just kiss me slow, oh
I love you, you know

We originally released this song as a single and there was no outro, it was just “Over-the-Ocean Call”.This is the one song I was like, “I don’t want this to be a single, I want people to be surprised when they hear it, they’re like going listening to the album and they’ve come to the song and they’...
I knew I wanted “Andrew” to be on the album but I didn’t know whether I should have it be one track or two separate tracks. But I ultimately went with having to be one track because I feel like on its own; Andrew is a happy song. It’s happy, you listen to it and you’re like, “Oh that’s so cute, so s...
