Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Thought I had it Offer on the table, first real pay Boss man calls me Says, “I’m sorry, kid, it ain’t your day” My name printed on a badge Right there, then it all gets snatched Like the rug beneath my boots Pulled clean away [Chorus] Suddenly my world tips upside down Can’t find my feet on this worn-out ground Job falls through, heart falls too Yeah, it all comes crashing now My crush is straight and I’m just gay Smiling at me in that friendly way I laugh it off, drive home alone Heartbroken and cold In this upside-down hometown [Verse 2] Friends all busy Wedding rings and baby news I’m just scrolling Empty kitchen, half-warm food Talk too loud to hide the ache Tell a joke so I won’t break Staring at the ceiling fan Like it might tell the truth [Chorus] Suddenly my world tips upside down Can’t find my feet on this worn-out ground Job falls through, heart falls too Yeah, it all comes crashing now My crush is straight and I’m just gay Practicing words I’ll never say I laugh it off, drive home alone Heartbroken and cold In this upside-down hometown [Bridge] One day I’ll meet someone Who doesn’t make me feel wrong for wanting One day I’ll clock in Where they’re glad it’s me that’s walking in (oh yeah) Til then it’s me And this old truck on empty roads Singing to the dark ’Cause it’s the only thing that knows [Chorus] Suddenly my world tips upside down But I’m still here, I’m still around Job fell through, love did too But I’m holding to me now Yeah, my crush is straight and I’m still gay Maybe that’s more than okay I turn the key, drive myself home Half-broken, but bold In this upside-down hometown

Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies and a singalong hook. Subtle pedal steel and fiddle lines color the edges, with male vocals leaning vulnerable then lifting into a hopeful, anthemic final chorus., pop, world
