[Verse 1] You kept your paper planets in a shoebox by the stairs Drew a map of nowhere with a purple marker there They said, “Pick a lane, be normal, make your edges disappear” But you wore that crooked jacket like you meant to keep it weird [Pre-Chorus] I see the part you hide away I like it better when it stays [Chorus] Be strange, be bright, be beautifully out of line Make room for every shape that doesn’t fit the design If you bring your odd little wonder, I’ll bring mine We’ll make a wider world by standing side by side [Verse 2] You talk to every houseplant, give the pigeons little names I collect old buttons, sort them by their made-up games We don’t need permission slips to be the way we are There’s more than one direction to get where you are going [Pre-Chorus] I see the part you hide away I like it better when it stays [Chorus] Be strange, be bright, be beautifully out of line Make room for every shape that doesn’t fit the design If you bring your odd little wonder, I’ll bring mine We’ll make a wider world by standing side by side [Bridge] When they laugh, I’ll take your hand When I freeze, you help me stand No one has to shrink or choose We can make a place for every kind of you [Final Chorus] Be strange, be bright, be beautifully out of line Make room for every shape that doesn’t fit the design If you bring your odd little wonder, I’ll bring mine We’ll make a wider world by standing side by side [Outro] Keep your paper planets I’ll keep my buttons, too There’s room enough for me And room enough for you
