Odd-Colored Heart

[Verse 1]
You paint your nails in three loud colors
Wear the grin that makes them stare
You talk in sparks, you move in angles
And take your time getting there
I used to tuck my oddities away
Like they might cost me something true
Now every bright unmatching piece
Feels more like me than something new

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the old measure lose its count
Let the neat lines come undone
I’m not a copy in the crowd
I’m the only one of one

[Chorus]
This is my face, my weather, my way
All my strange little notes in play
You’ve got your own kind of wild to bring
So lift it up, let it ring
We don’t have to match to belong
We can be many and still be strong
Every odd-colored heart gets to sing
I am myself—and that’s everything

[Verse 2]
You laugh too hard at tiny details
I keep a dozen names for blue
Some days we take the path that zigzags
Some days we make a different view
No need to file the edges off us
No need to trade our shades for gray
The parts they called a little much
Are what make us unmistakably ours today

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the old measure lose its count
Let the neat lines come undone
I’m not a copy in the crowd
I’m the only one of one

[Chorus]
This is my face, my weather, my way
All my strange little notes in play
You’ve got your own kind of wild to bring
So lift it up, let it ring
We don’t have to match to belong
We can be many and still be strong
Every odd-colored heart gets to sing
I am myself—and that’s everything

[Outro]
Your bright, your strange, your honest thing
Bring it out; let the whole world sing
