[Verse 1] You saw the crack beneath the paint The careful lie they called restraint You asked why every door was small And heard the hinges in the wall They called you difficult to know You noticed where the seams would go A crooked thought, a stubborn flame A better question without a name [Pre-Chorus] You weren't made to fit the frame You saw the frame was built to tame [Chorus] Maybe strange is seeing clearly When the room prefers a blur You can turn the truth to motion You can change what others were But the hands that move the mountain May come home to empty chairs Still, the world is less alone now Because you saw what wasn't there [Verse 2] You marked the ramp beside the stairs Made room for voices no one hears You moved the table, changed the rule Made space for someone called a fool They praised the bridge, forgot the shore You kept on building something more Then walked back through your quiet door With no one there to ask what for [Pre-Chorus] The view that lets you see ahead Can leave you speaking to yourself instead [Chorus] Maybe strange is seeing clearly When the room prefers a blur You can turn the truth to motion You can change what others were But the hands that move the mountain May come home to empty chairs Still, the world is less alone now Because you saw what wasn't there [Bridge: half-time, intimate] I know the cost of being first Of naming what the silence hides They take the path you cut through stone Then leave you standing off to the side If you are tired, let it show You don't have to lead tonight The ones who walk the road you opened Will learn to leave a porch light [Final Chorus] Maybe strange is seeing clearly And refusing to look away You can turn the truth to motion You can bend the shape of days Though the hands that move the mountain May come home to empty chairs What you changed will keep on reaching Past the loneliness you bear [Outro] You saw the crack You made a door Someone comes through And asks for more
