Verse 1 The room gets quiet when the lights go down All the noise fades out of town I see the colors we left on the wall Little reminders we were here at all We made a mess, we made it loud We stood out in a normal crowd And even when the day feels gray I hope we never fade away Pre-Chorus Maybe the world will try to change us Maybe time will rearrange us But there’s one thing I know Before we go Chorus Stay strange Stay bright Keep your sparks in the middle of the night Don’t trade your colors for a cleaner page Don’t let them make you act your age Stay loud Stay true Keep the weird little light inside of you When everything starts feeling gray Stay strange Verse 2 One day we’ll look at who we were Laugh at the pictures, miss the blur All the bad jokes, all the wrong chords All the dreams taped to our doors Maybe we’ll change, maybe we should Maybe growing up can still be good But if the world says, “Be the same” I hope we still remember our name Pre-Chorus Maybe the world will try to change us Maybe time will rearrange us But there’s one thing I know Before we go Chorus Stay strange Stay bright Keep your sparks in the middle of the night Don’t trade your colors for a cleaner page Don’t let them make you act your age Stay loud Stay true Keep the weird little light inside of you When everything starts feeling gray Stay strange Bridge If your voice shakes, sing away If your shoes don’t match, wear them anyway If your heart draws outside the lines That means it’s still alive If they say, “Too much,” let it show If they say, “Too weird,” let it grow If they don’t understand your flame Let it burn all the same Final Chorus Stay strange Stay bright Keep your sparks in the middle of the night Don’t trade your colors for a cleaner page Don’t let them make you act your age Stay loud Stay true Keep the weird little light inside of you When everything starts feeling gray Stay strange Outro Stay strange Stay bright Keep your sparks in the middle of the night When everything starts feeling gray Stay strange
