[Verse 1] You paint your nails in three loud colors Wear the grin that makes them stare You talk in sparks, you move in angles And take your time getting there I used to tuck my oddities away Like they might cost me something true Now every bright unmatching piece Feels more like me than something new [Pre-Chorus] Let the old measure lose its count Let the neat lines come undone I’m not a copy in the crowd I’m the only one of one [Chorus] This is my face, my weather, my way All my strange little notes in play You’ve got your own kind of wild to bring So lift it up, let it ring We don’t have to match to belong We can be many and still be strong Every odd-colored heart gets to sing I am myself—and that’s everything [Verse 2] You laugh too hard at tiny details I keep a dozen names for blue Some days we take the path that zigzags Some days we make a different view No need to file the edges off us No need to trade our shades for gray The parts they called a little much Are what make us unmistakably ours today [Pre-Chorus] Let the old measure lose its count Let the neat lines come undone I’m not a copy in the crowd I’m the only one of one [Chorus] This is my face, my weather, my way All my strange little notes in play You’ve got your own kind of wild to bring So lift it up, let it ring We don’t have to match to belong We can be many and still be strong Every odd-colored heart gets to sing I am myself—and that’s everything [Outro] Your bright, your strange, your honest thing Bring it out; let the whole world sing
