I want you even if we're strangers in the making
Drawing hearts that break before the ink is dry
I've put the period at the ending of the wrong lines
But loving you is the most beautiful thing I've done for me

Don't you dare give up on who you're gonna be
You're a wild exception, crossing every line they drew
Don't project your limits on my skin
What you call a mountain, I call a holy climb
You're incredible, don't let the noise inside the routine lie

When my voice shakes, I never felt more safe within the storm
Loving you is a mirror of the best parts of my ghost
The silence in this room makes more sense than any other noise
I want you with the fear and the truth in every breath
(Pre-drop, spoken ad-libs)
I'm chilling, dude, that's cool, go for it
Take it easy, look ahead, don't forget
You can do it

Don't you dare give up on who you're gonna be
You're a wild exception, crossing every line they drew
Don't project your limits on my skin
What you call a mountain, I call a holy climb
(Outro, drop resolution)
I'm the exception to the rule
The sharp nail that won't be hammered down
I won't dim the light to fit your insecurity
Call it luck when the world sees the gold I knew was here
