A Glorious Mess

[Verse 1]
You alphabetize your spoons
I name the pigeons on the roof
You wear your coat inside out
Like you’ve got nothing left to prove

I keep a tiny plastic horse
Beside the bills I never sort
We trade our oddities like cards
And laugh till every rule falls short

[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you had to sand it down
Fold your elbows, lower sound
But every strange and crooked part
Is where the daylight gets its start

[Chorus]
Be weird, be loud, take up the room
Wear your mismatched socks to the moon
You don’t owe anybody neat
You’re not a flaw they get to keep
Be weird, be wild, let your colors spill
The world can learn to love you still
All of us, a glorious mess—
Come as you are, and nothing less

[Verse 2]
You talk to plants in different voices
I make up names for passing trains
Your lunch is pickles, cake, and noodles
My lucky hat has coffee stains

They made a box and drew a line
Then told us all to fit inside
But you were never built to fold
And I was never made to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
You thought you had to sand it down
Fold your elbows, lower sound
But every strange and crooked part
Is where the daylight gets its start

[Chorus]
Be weird, be loud, take up the room
Wear your mismatched socks to the moon
You don’t owe anybody neat
You’re not a flaw they get to keep
Be weird, be wild, let your colors spill
The world can learn to love you still
All of us, a glorious mess—
Come as you are, and nothing less

[Bridge]
To the kid who eats lunch in the stairwell
To the grown-up who still keeps that toy
To the one who rehearses every hello
You are not too much, you are not a decoy

Let the strange little habits stay
Let the unapproved laugh break free
We were never meant to match—
We’re the proof of what a life can be

[Final Chorus]
Be weird, be loud, take up the room
Wear your mismatched socks to the moon
You don’t owe anybody neat
You’re not a flaw they get to keep
Be weird, be wild, let your colors spill
The world can learn to love you still
All of us, a glorious mess—
Come as you are, and nothing less

[Outro]
Come as you are
Nothing less
A glorious mess
Nothing less
