[Verse 1] You take the stairs two at a time You find the joke inside the rain You turn a wrong note into yours And make it sound like no one else [Pre-Chorus] There’s no correct way to be alive No borrowed shape that fits you right [Chorus] Take your life in both your hands You’re a one-off, understand Every strange and lovely part Is the signature you are Take your life, don’t shrink or hide You’re not meant to match a line What you are is worth the space Take your life and take your place [Verse 2] You paint the answer out of bounds You laugh before the punchline lands You choose a road because it bends You say the thing no one else can [Pre-Chorus] There’s no correct way to be alive No borrowed shape that fits you right [Chorus] Take your life in both your hands You’re a one-off, understand Every strange and lovely part Is the signature you are Take your life, don’t shrink or hide You’re not meant to match a line What you are is worth the space Take your life and take your place [Bridge] If the world says smooth your edges Let them keep their measuring tape You were never made for copies You’re a bright and breathing shape [Final Chorus] Take your life in both your hands You’re a one-off, understand Every strange and lovely part Is the signature you are Take your life, don’t shrink or hide You’re not meant to match a line What you are is worth the space Take your life and take your place
