Odd Things

Intro

Oh-oh, hey, heyi ya (hey)

Ta-ta-touch the moon with a paper spoon

Uh-huh, uh-huh — la-la-la

Verse

I keep a map of my couch cushions, labeled A through Z

I taught my toothbrush to tango, it stepped on me

I call my cereal by nicknames, Captain Crunch is just 'C'

I tie my shoelaces in riddles, they whisper (go, go) to me

I plant pennies in a shoebox, wait for coin trees

I RSVP to my own dreams, I show up anyway (show up)

I sing to empty elevators, they hum back in three

I put a bookmark in a sandwich and read between the crumbs

Pre-chorus

Nobody's watching, or maybe they are (maybe they are)

We're all a little sideways like a crooked star

So clap your palms like thunder, stomp like a cat

Say the silly words out loud — just like that

Chorus

I say odd things, odd-odd things, oh-oh

I say odd things, odd-odd things, yeah-yeah

I say odd things, odd-odd things, oh-oh

I say odd things, odd-odd things, yeah-yeah

Verse

I painted my mirror with compliments in purple ink

I call my bad jokes 'mysteries' and watch them blink

I keep a holiday for Tuesdays, parade for two

I whistle to the mailbox, it whistles back (whistles back)

I wear two different clocks and tell time to both of them

I barter smiles for slices of grilled cheese happiness

I file my shadow under things that start with 'S'

I practice conversations with pigeons on my ledge

Bridge

Oh — la-la, ha-ha, ha-hey (ha-hey)

We trade crooked truths for straight-up play (play, play)

Say it soft, say it loud, say it wrong and proud

Na-na-na, keep the oddness in the crowd

Chorus

I say odd things, odd-odd things, oh-oh

I say odd things, odd-odd things, yeah-yeah

I say odd things, odd-odd things, oh-oh

I say odd things, odd-odd things, yeah-yeah
