The Reason We Fly

[Verse 1]
You call it strange; I call it mine
A bright red thread in a gray design
I talk too fast, then miss a beat
Still every odd part moves my feet

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the angles catch the light
Every difference fits me right

[Chorus]
I’m all of it, the spark and the seam
The sudden turn in the middle of a dream
You’re all of you, so raise your colors high
We don’t match—and that’s the reason we fly

[Verse 2]
Your laugh breaks loose at the wrong old cue
Your careful plans take a different route
I see that courage in the way you stand
No copy made could hold your hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Let the angles catch the light
Every difference fits you right

[Chorus]
I’m all of it, the spark and the seam
The sudden turn in the middle of a dream
You’re all of you, so raise your colors high
We don’t match—and that’s the reason we fly

[Bridge]
Not a flaw to file away
Not a part to trade someday
Take your whole wild self outside
Let the bright parts multiply

[Final Chorus]
We’re all of it, the spark and the seam
The sudden turn that makes the picture sing
All of us, let every color fly
We don’t match—and that’s the reason why
