[Verse 1]
I notice how she looks at me
But I pretend that I don't see
It's easier if I let the tension subside
I've seen it in the books I read
A magic that you cannot see
There's no limitations, they wear it with pride

[Pre-Chorus]
But the characters I read never act or look like me
I can't depend on them to lead me through the right door
And what's the point of falling when I know I'm only stalling?
'Cause I have to go back home

[Chorus]
Where I'm just one in the herd, tripping ovеr my words
Trying hard to go with the grain
Keeping the quirks in my brain
I'm on the brink of discovеry, I think
But what if I'm dreaming?
That's what it seems like
'Cause this girl thinks I'm part of her world
And that new territory's scary
If I turn the handle, am I asking for a scandal?
Should I try to be ordinary?
[Verse 2]
Baaah!
I've always been a little odd
The only pea inside the pod
That's not an expression, I'm guessing, oh, well
Agh! See? That's exactly what I mean!
I'm just as awkward as I seem
Plus, she makes me nervous, I hope she can't tell

[Pre-Chorus]
What is it she sees in this cluster clump of me?
Or could it maybe be I'm going crazy?
And hey! Who am I kidding?
This isn't some sweet beginning
Just a detour to the end!

[Chorus]
Then back to the herd, tripping over my words
Trying hard to go with the grain
Keeping the quirks in my brain
I'm on the brink of discovery, I think
But what if I'm dreaming?

[Bridge]
Do I rewind? Induce amnesia?
Pretend I didn't see her?
Succumb to stupid fear?
Or just believe in my heart?
Why play a part?
[Chorus]
Why follow the herd? Why not trust in my words?
Don't wanna go with the grain
Why try to make myself plain?
I'm on the brink of rediscovery, I think
So what if I'm dreaming?
I like the scene that I'm in!

[Outro]
And this girl is a part of this world
The thought of being normal's far more scary
I'll be brave and I'll be kind
I'll make a choice and change my mind
I will mess up all the time
They'll say I'm weird, but I'll be fine
I'll be anything but ordinary
