[Verse 1] You get annoyed so easy Rolling your eyes Then you laugh Blaming it all on dancing icons Tiny excuses on a glass Porcupine quills at attention Every spike ready to snap Guarded by nature Yeah I get it Fun kid hiding in the back [Chorus] Flatten your quills Let life in You don’t have to fight every grin I see right through the costume you took You’re softer inside Smarter than you look Flatten your quills Let life in [Verse 2] You play the calm Wise counselor Talking folks down from the ledge Giving advice to the elders But you won’t use it on yourself Name says you measure the gamble Risk and reward in your head Respect is earned You remind us Still scared to dive in instead [Chorus] [Bridge] Your hair got wild A little crooked Proof you’re dreaming something new Hope hanging off every curl now [low vocal register] I know there’s more of you [Chorus]
