Glad to Be This Way

[Verse 1]
You take the bright blue marker, draw a sun across your cheek
I wear my silver polish like a flag I chose to keep
We trade our little oddities like stickers on a case
Each one says, this is mine; I like the way it takes up space

[Pre-Chorus]
Let every offbeat answer
Let every color stay
We’re not a matched set, darling
We’re better that way

[Chorus]
All of us, all our angles
All the notes we didn’t plan
Raise your hands, let the whole world
See us exactly as we am
Every strange and shining detail
Every laugh that won’t behave
We are vivid, we are varied
We are glad to be this way

[Verse 2]
You paint a tiny comet on the canvas of your shoe
I wear the loudest pattern that my old self never knew
We make a constellation out of things we used to hide
Now every difference has a name, and none of us must lie

[Pre-Chorus]
Let every offbeat answer
Let every color stay
We’re not a matched set, darling
We’re better that way

[Chorus]
All of us, all our angles
All the notes we didn’t plan
Raise your hands, let the whole world
See us exactly as we am
Every strange and shining detail
Every laugh that won’t behave
We are vivid, we are varied
We are glad to be this way

[Bridge]
Say it in your own bright language
Say it with your whole face
No two sparks arrive alike
And that’s the good of this place

[Final Chorus]
All of us, all our angles
All the notes we didn’t plan
Raise your hands, let the whole world
See us exactly as we am
Every strange and shining detail
Every laugh that won’t behave
We are vivid, we are varied
We are glad to be this way
[Outro]
Glad to be this way
