This is How I Come Alive

[Verse 1]
You said I talk in colors no one else can name
I used to mute the bright ones, tuck them out of frame
Now every odd detail is something I can claim
I wear it like a signal, let it speak my name

[Pre-Chorus]
All the little differences, lining up in time
Every strange and honest part is finally all mine

[Chorus]
This is how I come alive
Every angle, every side
I won’t trade the things that make me
I’m a one-of-one, and that’s enough for me

[Verse 2]
I laugh before the punchline, take the scenic thought
Say the thing I mean to say, not what I think I ought
You can keep your copy-paste; I’m not what you bought
I’m learning every day to love the notes I brought

[Pre-Chorus]
All the little differences, lining up in time
Every strange and honest part is finally all mine

[Chorus]
This is how I come alive
Every angle, every side
I won’t trade the things that make me
I’m a one-of-one, and that’s enough for me

[Bridge]
Let the odd parts take the lead
Let them bloom in full repeat

[Final Chorus]
This is how we come alive
Every angle, every side
We won’t trade the things that make us
One of one, and that is more than enough
