lyrics

Big-eyed beautiful, oh
She’s so wonderful, she said to me:
“What’s wrong with my face, what’s
Something I can change so they’ll like me?”
I shake my head and say:
“Life made you this way,
And that’s lovely to me
I’ll let you in on something new,
Something I’ve had to learn too.”

Perfect is as perfect does
And perfect is full of shit
And people are too quick to judge
And you shouldn’t feel like this

Oh small town, you’re bringing her down
Please just let her go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday she will leave you
And she will be free to
Go where she is loved
Go where she is loved

They say he hit a wall, it
All just got too much
At least, that’s what I heard
Questions were never asked, he
Simply wasn’t like the rest of his class
Faces like the wind, they're
There and they’re gone again
And no one ever knows why
We love the quirky ones, but
He crossed the line
No one ever told him where it was

And perfect is as perfect does
And perfect is full of shit
And people are too quick to judge
And you shouldn’t feel like this

Oh small town, you’re bringing him down
Please just let him go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday he will leave you
And he will be free to
Go where he is loved
Go where he is loved

Different is okay
Different is okay
Different is okay
That’s what they say

Different is okay
And not just in the simple ways
You can be confused
You can be bruised

Different is okay
Say it ‘til we see it
Different is okay
Say it ‘til we mean it

Oh small town, you’re bringing me down
Please just let me go
To where the lights glow

Oh small town, you’re bringing me down
Please just let me go
To where the lights glow
Oh small town, someday I will leave you
And I will be free to
Go where I am loved
Go where I am loved

Go where we are loved
Go where we are loved
Go where I am loved
Go where we are loved
Go where I am loved
Go where I am loved
Go where we are
