Notes They Couldn't Name

[Verse 1]
You count the colors I was taught to hide
I wear them out where every line can show
My laugh breaks loose, my pulse refuses straight
I take the uneven road my own feet chose

[Pre-Chorus]
No mask can hold this much of me
I turn each difference into something bright

[Chorus]
I am all the notes they couldn't name
Every odd angle, every honest flame
You are more than one approved design
Let your strange and shining parts be mine
We come alive in our own kind of light
Different by nature, together tonight

[Verse 2]
Your silver laugh cuts clean across the hush
My restless hands keep time against the air
We trade our colors, never trade our nerve
And make a thousand ways of being here

[Chorus]
I am all the notes they couldn't name
Every odd angle, every honest flame
You are more than one approved design
Let your strange and shining parts be mine
We come alive in our own kind of light
Different by nature, together tonight

[Bridge]
Say it with your whole face
Stand in your own weather
Every voice, every pace
We are brighter together

[Final Chorus]
I am all the notes they couldn't name
Every odd angle, every honest flame
You are more than one approved design
Let your strange and shining parts be mine
We come alive in our own kind of light
Different by nature, together tonight
