Stay Strange

[Verse 1]
You fold your maps in crooked ways
You keep a pebble from the bay
You ask the questions no one planned
And draw new doors where walls began

[Pre-Chorus]
When they say, “Be easier to read”
I’ll save a seat beside me

[Chorus]
Stay strange, stay bright in your own way
There’s room for every shape we make
If you step out past the painted lines
I’ll step out too, you can borrow mine
Stay strange, and help the next one see
The world gets wider when we’re free

[Verse 2]
You wear the jacket inside out
You hum a tune and change the route
They call it odd; I call it brave
A little space is ours to make

[Pre-Chorus]
When you’re the only one who sees
I’ll stand beside your certainty

[Chorus]
Stay strange, stay bright in your own way
There’s room for every shape we make
If you step out past the painted lines
I’ll step out too, you can borrow mine
Stay strange, and help the next one see
The world gets wider when we’re free

[Bridge]
No measuring tape, no narrow frame
No need to sand away your name
We make a place by making room
For every color, every tune

[Final Chorus]
Stay strange, stay bright in your own way
There’s room for every shape we make
If you step out past the painted lines
I’ll step out too, you can borrow mine
Stay strange, and help the next one see
The world gets wider when we’re free

[Outro]
Stay strange—there’s room for you and me
