Struggling with Weird? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!
Isn't it weird? Isn't it strange? Even though we're just two strangers on this runaway train We're both trying to find a place in the sun We've lived in the shadows, but doesn't everyone? Isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes? Weird, oh ho Isn't it hard Standing in the rain? You're on the verge of going crazy and your heart's in pain No one can hear, but you're screaming so loud You feel like you're all alone in a faceless crowd Isn't it strange how we all get a little bit weird sometimes? Sitting on the side Waiting for a sign Hoping that my luck will change Reaching for a hand that can understand someone who feels the same When you live in a cookie-cutter world, being different is a sin So you don't stand out But you don't fit in Weird, whoa, oh Sitting on the side Waiting for a sign Hoping that my luck will change Oh ho Reaching for a hand that can understand someone who feels the same When you live in a cookie cutter world if you're different you can't win So you don't stand out and you don't fit in Oh, isn't it strange how we all feel a little bit weird? Strange, how we all get a little bit Strange, how we all feel a little bit weird sometimes Oh, just a little bit weird sometimes
