[Verse 1] You fold your map the other way And take the path behind the wall You ask the question no one asks Then grin when every answer stalls Your paper crown, your sideways shoes The names you give the clouds at noon You make a room for odd-shaped thoughts And suddenly there’s room for two [Chorus] Stay strange, stay bright, stay beautifully you There’s more than one way a thing can be true If your idea takes the long way around I’ll walk beside you; we’ll turn it upside down Stay strange, stay kind, let the curious through The world gets wider when we make room [Verse 2] You save the buttons from old coats And build a city on the sill I bring my half-formed paper boats You show me how to bend the hill No need to smooth the jagged parts Or hide the colors we invent A little courage passed between us Can change the shape of what comes next [Chorus] Stay strange, stay bright, stay beautifully you There’s more than one way a thing can be true If your idea takes the long way around I’ll walk beside you; we’ll turn it upside down Stay strange, stay kind, let the curious through The world gets wider when we make room [Outro] So bring your crooked little compass I’ll bring my unfinished view We’ll make a path that fits us both And leave the gate unlatched for you
