Your Own Original

[Verse 1]
You learned the small repairs, the practiced little grin
The version that gets through, the version tucked within
But I can hear your real laugh breaking through the pose
Like summer pushing up between the rows

[Pre-Chorus]
Let every odd note keep its color, keep its place
You don't have to match the outline to be grace

[Chorus]
Be your own bright evidence, your own original
Every strange and vivid part is beautiful
Take that whole unedited heart out in the sun
You were never meant to be another one

[Verse 2]
Your careful, brilliant timing never lands the same
You turn a missed beat into something with a name
You set the pace your own way, turn and let it move
The world can learn the rhythm when you do

[Pre-Chorus]
Let every odd note keep its color, keep its place
You don't have to match the outline to be grace

[Chorus]
Be your own bright evidence, your own original
Every strange and vivid part is beautiful
Take that whole unedited heart out in the sun
You were never meant to be another one

[Bridge]
Keep the laugh that comes too early
Keep the thought that takes its turn
Every difference is a language
Every color has a burn

[Final Chorus]
Be your own bright evidence, your own original
Every strange and vivid part is beautiful
Take that whole unedited heart out in the sun
You were never meant to be another one
[Instrumental Hook]
[Outro]
Every color lives in you
