Color Outside The Lines (Know your worth)

[Verse 1] Teacher said "Pick a box Stay still" I drew wings On the test sheet anyway Mom said "Why can’t you just chill?" I taped stars On my shoes Walked away [Pre-Chorus] Every rule that they hand me Turns into paper planes I let them fly above the hallway Watch them forget my name [Chorus] I color outside the lines Smear that marker across the sky You can underline my crimes I’ll still laugh too loud Too bright Hey I won’t stand in your straight parade I’ll spin circles in the rain I color outside the lines And I’m never going back inside [Verse 2] Dress code Said "muted Clean" I showed up In clashing thunder shades They rolled eyes Called it "just a phase" I took notes On the ways they stayed the same [Pre-Chorus] Every "should" that they stack up I turn to crooked crowns Wear ‘em sideways in the mirror Dance till they fall down [Chorus] I color outside the lines Smear that marker across the sky You can underline my crimes I’ll still laugh too loud Too bright Hey I won’t march in your quiet lane I’ll skate sparks along the grain I color outside the lines And I’m never going back inside [Bridge] [Rhythm flips to jagged piano hits] Trip-step heartbeat On the kitchen tile Plan A crashed I just learned to improvise They said "grow up" I misheard "grow wild" Missed my stop Caught a better ride [Chorus] I color outside the lines Smear that marker across the sky You can underline my crimes I’ll still laugh too loud Too bright (too bright) Hey I won’t stand in your straight parade I’ll spin circles in the rain I color outside the lines And I’m never going back inside [Outro] [Everything cuts; lone vocal over one bold piano chord] Draw your border I’ll redraw mine You can keep your fence I’ll keep my spine
