Weird Ones, Wide Awake

[Verse 1]
You bring a ruler to my crooked lines
Call it a mess; I call it a sign
You want the map to follow the road
I drew a door where the wall says no

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “That’s strange”
I say, “Just wait”
The clock runs slow
When you’re ahead of the age

[Chorus]
We’re the weird ones, wide awake
Making room where there’s no space
You’ll call it obvious someday
When the whole world learns our names
We’re the weird ones, out in front
Little sparks before the sun
You can laugh, but that’s okay
You’ll catch up along the way

[Verse 2]
I wear my bright green jacket in the snow
Keep three notebooks full of things you don’t know
You say, “Be normal,” like it’s something I can do
But normal’s just a room with a very small view

[Pre-Chorus]
You say, “That’s strange”
I say, “Just wait”
The clock runs slow
When you’re ahead of the age

[Chorus]
We’re the weird ones, wide awake
Making room where there’s no space
You’ll call it obvious someday
When the whole world learns our names
We’re the weird ones, out in front
Little sparks before the sun
You can laugh, but that’s okay
You’ll catch up along the way

[Bridge]
Keep your careful little boxes
Keep your straight and narrow lines
I’ll be over here inventing
What you’ll call a classic in time

[Final Chorus]
We’re the weird ones, wide awake
Making room where there’s no space
You’ll call it obvious someday
When the whole world learns our names
We’re the weird ones, out in front
Little sparks before the sun
You can laugh, but that’s okay
You’ll catch up along the way
You’ll catch up along the way
