“The Dress Fits Now” lyrics
It's been hanging in the closet
With the paper on the sleeves
I kept saying maybe next year
When there's less of me to see
Then I tried it on a Tuesday
And I took myself to eat
The dress fits now
I'm done waiting on the girl
The dress fits now
Let me go out in the world
Saw my neighbor at the counter
She said you look different, dear
I said maybe it's the color
Maybe it's just being here
Bought a slice to take back with me
Left a little bigger tip
The dress fits now
I'm done waiting on the girl
The dress fits now
Let me go out in the world
Nothing changed about the zipper
Nothing changed about the seams
I just quit asking the mirror
For permission to be seen
The dress fits now
I'm done waiting on the girl
The dress fits now
Let me go out in the world
The dress fits now
So does the life I'm in
