Be Weird Beside You

[Verse 1]
You count the cracks in every sidewalk square
I name the pigeons like they're royalty
You wear a silver star upon your hair
I keep a pocket-sized volcano dream

[Pre-Chorus]
They taught us how to fold our colors neat
But yours spill out in bright electric shapes
So let your strange ideas take the lead
The world gets wider every time you make

[Chorus]
Be weird, be wonderfully, wildly you
Let every oddball color cut right through
Your laugh, your habits, every unlikely part
Are little flags unfurled across your heart
Be weird, and I’ll be weird beside you
There’s more than one good way to come alive

[Verse 2]
You memorize the clouds above the park
I give my plants ridiculous nicknames
You build a tiny planet out of bark
I practice greetings for the neighborhood cats

[Pre-Chorus]
They taught us how to keep our voices low
But every quirk can turn a spark to flame
You never have to fit their narrow mold
The world gets kinder when we stay untamed

[Chorus]
Be weird, be wonderfully, wildly you
Let every oddball color cut right through
Your laugh, your habits, every unlikely part
Are little flags unfurled across your heart
Be weird, and I’ll be weird beside you
There’s more than one good way to come alive

[Bridge]
If you talk to beetles, tell me what they said
If you dress in galaxies, wear them on your head
If your favorite song is made of strange sounds
Turn it up; let the whole day spin around

[Final Chorus]
Be weird, be wonderfully, wildly you
Let every oddball color cut right through
Your laugh, your habits, every unlikely part
Are little flags unfurled across your heart
Be weird, and I’ll be weird beside you
There’s more than one good way to come alive

[Outro]
Be weird, be wonderfully you
And let the world get used to you
