[Intro] I never learned to walk in straight lines Never cared to color inside Never had much use for the blueprint If the blueprint said how to live my life I took the long road I took the strange route Turned left when everyone said right And if that makes me difficult Then difficult fits me just fine [Pre-Chorus] I’m not here to match the pattern I’m not here to disappear If I’m too much for the room Then I’ll make the room bigger from here [Chorus] I’m out of line And I like it that way I’m out of step But I’m moving anyway Raise your hands If you never fit the mold Raise your voice If you’d rather make your own We don’t need permission We don’t need a sign We were never born To fall in line [Post-Chorus] Hey! Hey! Hey! Out of line! Hey! Hey! Hey! And doing just fine! [Verse 2] I’ve been called too loud Too weird Too restless Too many ideas Too little restraint I’ve been told to pick a lane So many times I started building highways instead I don’t want the safest answer I don’t want the standard plan I’d rather fail as who I am Than win as someone else’s man [Pre-Chorus] I’m not here to match the pattern I’m not shrinking down tonight If the world says “Choose the usual” I’m choosing something else on sight [Chorus] I’m out of line And I like it that way I’m out of step But I’m moving anyway Raise your hands If you never fit the mold Raise your voice If you’d rather make your own We don’t need permission We don’t need a sign We were never born To fall in line [Breakdown] Let them stare Let them talk Let them wonder Why you walk Like the road belongs to you Let them laugh Let them doubt That just means You found a route They were too afraid to choose [Build] Different isn’t broken Strange isn’t wrong You don’t owe the world A smaller version Just to get along [Final Chorus] I’m out of line And I like it that way I’m out of step But I’m moving anyway Raise your hands If you never fit the mold Raise your voice If you’d rather make your own We don’t need permission We don’t need a sign We were never born To fall in line [Key Change] No! We don’t bend Just to blend We don’t quit Just to fit We don’t trade What makes us strange For a little bit of praise If they say “That’s not how it’s done” Good Then watch us do it anyway [Final Chant] Out of line! Out of line! Out of line! And doing just fine! Out of line! Out of line! Original by design! [Outro] I never learned to walk in straight lines And I hope I never do
