Strange in the Same Wide Room

[Verse 1]
You kept your paper crowns in a biscuit tin
Drew tiny maps where the margins begin
They said, “Pick a lane, make your edges behave”
You made a new road from the lines that they gave

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see you, making room
For the colors they called too loud

[Chorus]
Let’s be strange in the same wide room
Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune
If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame
I’ll stand beside you and say your name
We don’t have to sand each other down
There’s more than one way to turn this town around

[Verse 2]
You wear mismatched socks to the meeting at noon
I bring my pocket-sized paper moon
We trade our odd little sparks like seeds
Till the garden grows past the fence they keep

[Pre-Chorus]
When you falter, I’ll be near
There’s no prize for disappearing here

[Chorus]
Let’s be strange in the same wide room
Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune
If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame
I’ll stand beside you and say your name
We don’t have to sand each other down
There’s more than one way to turn this town around

[Bridge]
Not a mistake, not a phase to outgrow
A door in the wall that we didn’t know
So take my hand; I’ll take your side
Let every unlikely color step outside

[Final Chorus]
Let’s be strange in the same wide room
Make a little more space for the unfamiliar tune
If your bright ideas don’t fit their frame
I’ll stand beside you and say your name
We don’t have to sand each other down
There’s more than one way to turn this town around

[Outro]
Keep your paper crowns
Keep your curious heart
We make more room
By being who we are
