Be Bright and Odd

[Verse 1]
You fold your map the other way
You name the clouds above the train
You keep a marble in your coat
For luck, or just because it’s smooth

[Pre-Chorus]
I used to hide the parts that didn’t fit
Till you made room beside you

[Chorus]
Be strange with me, be bright and odd
Let every crooked line belong
If your idea bends the frame
I’ll hold the door and say your name
We’re better when we make some space
For every different kind of shape

[Verse 2]
You grow tomatoes in a boot
I save the jokes that miss the room
You paint one fingernail electric blue
And suddenly I’m braver too

[Pre-Chorus]
No need to sand the edges down
We’re more ourselves together

[Chorus]
Be strange with me, be bright and odd
Let every crooked line belong
If your idea bends the frame
I’ll hold the door and say your name
We’re better when we make some space
For every different kind of shape

[Outro]
Keep your odd little compass near
I’ll walk beside you, glad you’re here
