Lyrics

Mother said: "stand up straight
"Don't let your classmates make
"You feel like you don't belong
"So not like the rest of them
"Someday, the best of them
"Will realize they were wrong."
But in my world, different meant lonely
The last place I wanted to be:

Was standing out in a crowd
Where the spotlight finds you and singles you out
What are they whisperin' about?
You're thinkin' up ways to take up less space:
I can't see the grace in it:
Standin' out in a crowd. (standing out.)

Too short, too tall;
Flower against the wall:
The last one chosen to play
Too smart, too dumb
Too strange a place to be from:
Same shoes every day
With all these ways to be different
Then maybe that's how you fit in

By standing out in the crowd
Where the spotlight finds you and singles you out
What are they whisperin' about?
You're thinkin' up ways to take up less space:
Instead of embracing it:
Standin' out in a crowd. (standing out.)

It's funny how now
It's not such a bad place to be
Standing out in a crowd. (standing out in a crowd.)
Standing out in a crowd

Standing out in a crowd, (standing out.)
Where the spotlight finds you and singles you out
What are they whisperin' about?
You're thinkin' up ways to take up less space:
There's no escapin' it:
Standin' out in a crowd. (standing out.)
Standin' out in a crowd. (standing out.)

(Standin' out.)

To fade
