[Verse 1] You kept your paper crowns in a biscuit tin Drew tiny maps where the margins begin They said, “Pick a lane, make your edges behave” You made a new road from the lines that they gave [Pre-Chorus] Now I see you, making room For the colors they called too loud [Chorus] Let’s be strange in the same wide room Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame I’ll stand beside you and say your name We don’t have to sand each other down There’s more than one way to turn this town around [Verse 2] You wear mismatched socks to the meeting at noon I bring my pocket-sized paper moon We trade our odd little sparks like seeds Till the garden grows past the fence they keep [Pre-Chorus] When you falter, I’ll be near There’s no prize for disappearing here [Chorus] Let’s be strange in the same wide room Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame I’ll stand beside you and say your name We don’t have to sand each other down There’s more than one way to turn this town around [Bridge] Not a mistake, not a phase to outgrow A door in the wall that we didn’t know So take my hand; I’ll take your side Let every unlikely color step outside [Final Chorus] Let’s be strange in the same wide room Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame I’ll stand beside you and say your name We don’t have to sand each other down There’s more than one way to turn this town around [Outro] Keep your paper crowns Keep your curious heart We make more room By being who we are
