[Verse 1] You say I laugh too loud at the wrong part I say that laugh is how I know my heart Gold flecks in my eyes, ink on my hand I quit translating who I am [Pre-Chorus] Every odd note, every bright mistake Turns into a color I can make [Chorus] I’m not a copy, I’m the whole design Every strange little angle, every crooked— [Chorus] I stand in my own light, vivid and alive All of these pieces fit because they’re mine [Verse 2] I talk in sparks, I think in leaps I keep the promises my own skin keeps You’ve got your weather, I’ve got mine Different kinds of wild, both doing fine [Pre-Chorus] Let the old comparisons fall away We get to be ourselves today [Chorus] I’m not a copy, I’m the whole design Every odd little rhythm, every vivid sign I stand in my own light, vivid and alive All of these pieces fit because they’re mine [Bridge] No need to match, no need to blend I like the way my colors bend Your brilliant self beside my own A thousand ways to be fully known [Final Chorus] I’m not a copy, I’m the whole design Every odd little rhythm, every vivid sign I stand in my own light, vivid and alive All of these pieces fit because they’re mine [Outro] Because they’re mine Because they’re mine
