i think this song is more about two people in a relationship and one being too busy or pre-occupied "You've been trying to reach me You bought me a book" like the narrator has other stuff in life and they have been trying to get together and maybe "I've been paid" refers to feeling richer by hanging out with the other person (because later on they say "I'll pay for you anytime") and being absent minded means that they have their mind somewhere else, perhaps the second half of the song is the point of veiw from the other person and they're trying to tell them why cant we be something? and the "Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts " means that one wants to be together and wants to know the truth... i just kinda tried to relate it to my situation which was just easier
