[Verse 1] You bring a ruler to my crooked lines Call it a mess; I call it a sign You want the map to follow the road I drew a door where the wall says no [Pre-Chorus] You say, “That’s strange” I say, “Just wait” The clock runs slow When you’re ahead of the age [Chorus] We’re the weird ones, wide awake Making room where there’s no space You’ll call it obvious someday When the whole world learns our names We’re the weird ones, out in front Little sparks before the sun You can laugh, but that’s okay You’ll catch up along the way [Verse 2] I wear my bright green jacket in the snow Keep three notebooks full of things you don’t know You say, “Be normal,” like it’s something I can do But normal’s just a room with a very small view [Pre-Chorus] You say, “That’s strange” I say, “Just wait” The clock runs slow When you’re ahead of the age [Chorus] We’re the weird ones, wide awake Making room where there’s no space You’ll call it obvious someday When the whole world learns our names We’re the weird ones, out in front Little sparks before the sun You can laugh, but that’s okay You’ll catch up along the way [Bridge] Keep your careful little boxes Keep your straight and narrow lines I’ll be over here inventing What you’ll call a classic in time [Final Chorus] We’re the weird ones, wide awake Making room where there’s no space You’ll call it obvious someday When the whole world learns our names We’re the weird ones, out in front Little sparks before the sun You can laugh, but that’s okay You’ll catch up along the way You’ll catch up along the way
