[Verse 1] You draw a blue sun on the lunchroom wall I make up names for the pigeons downtown They say, “Be sensible,” like that says it all But I like how your thoughts take the scenic route around [Pre-Chorus] When you show me the thing you made I won’t ask you to make it tame I’ll say, “That’s yours—keep going” You say the same when I do my thing [Chorus] Here’s to the odd ones, loud and true To the bright strange plans we follow through If your idea has a tail or ten I’ll cheer it on; you cheer mine then We don’t have to match to belong We make each other braver all along [Verse 2] You wear a paper hat to the bus stop in June I give my plants ridiculous names You turn a missed note into a tune I turn a wrong answer into a game [Pre-Chorus] When the old rules start to press We can trade a little confidence You say, “That’s yours—keep going” I’ll say the same when you do your thing [Chorus] Here’s to the odd ones, loud and true To the bright strange plans we follow through If your idea has a tail or ten I’ll cheer it on; you cheer mine then We don’t have to match to belong We make each other braver all along [Bridge] No need to explain every color you choose I see you, I’m here, I’m making mine too [Final Chorus] Here’s to the odd ones, loud and true To the bright strange plans we follow through If your idea has a tail or ten I’ll cheer it on; you cheer mine then We don’t have to match to belong We make each other braver all along [Outro] Keep going. I’m cheering you on.
