Square Pegs

(album: The First Time - 2015)

La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da

What if we were all the same:
Same rules, same game
And we weren't allowed to change anything about anything
That anybody's ever done before
Wouldn't that be boring?

Always spinning on a ride, all walking on a line
That they drew a long time ago
And you know that you don't have to go where they go
You can go write your own story

(Hey!) hey, you gotta be
Who you oughta be
So who do you wanna be?
Oh-oh-oh-oh

You can choose
If you're bad, if you're good
If you're left or right
Speaking your heart or speaking your mind
You can be what they say
You can be a cliché
You can tear up the box, and throw it away

Everybody gotta be themselves
Everybody gotta dream out loud
Everybody gotta be themselves
Square pegs make the world go 'round

La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da
La da da da da da da da da

There's a lot of open doors
You can go and explore
You can always open more
If you're hitting a wall
Dropping the ball
Haven't we all
Been down that same hallway?

So let 'em talk and whisper
Let 'em try to fix ya
Repaint your picture
At the end of the day
It fits in your frame
Just 'cause you're different don't mean you're crazy

Hey, hey, you gotta sing
Like nobody's listening
'Cause somebody's listening
Yeah, oh

You can choose
If you're bad, if you're good
If you're left or right
Speaking your heart or speaking your mind
You can be what they say
You can be a cliché
You can tear up the box, and throw it away

Everybody gotta be themselves
Everybody gotta dream out loud
Everybody gotta be themselves
Square pegs make the world go 'round

They make the world go 'round

Hey, hey, you gotta be
Who you oughta be
So who do you wanna be?
Whoa, oh

You can choose
If you're bad, if you're good
If you're left or right
Speaking your heart or speaking your mind
You can be what they say
You can be a cliché
You can tear up the box, and throw it away

Everybody gotta be themselves
Everybody gotta dream out loud
Everybody gotta be themselves
Square pegs make the world go 'round

Hey, you gotta be
Who you wanna be, so
Who do you wanna be?
Square pegs make the world go 'round

Hey, you gotta be
Who you wanna be, so
Who do you wanna be?
Square pegs make the world go 'round
