lyrics

I was always home
Scared my thoughts would show
I didn’t even know
That I was not alone

The revolution came
And I held up my sign
It said nothings wrong with me
There’s only one thing that I need

And that’s you
The exception to their rules
Just like those girls I loved in school
Except not disgusted at the thought
Someone like me could be the one
OOH OOH OOH

People fought but love won
But it didn’t erase what they had done
The freaks like me, we pressed on
Our life is wrapped up in the cause
inextricable from us
Light at tunnels end we see
There’s only one thing that I need

CHORUS
Maybe we could be the ones

But now today I’m feeling strong
Despite the things that they got wrong
A love so easy I can breathe
Someone so beautiful and you see me
