Today I saw my favorite picture of you
With your winter coat and shorts and mismatched shoes
And a look that seemed to say
I like to be this way
I know I'm not supposed to but I do
The thing that makes my favorite picture of you
Is the "I don't give a damn"
In all you do
They'll try to make you pay
But be you anyway
It's what I pray for every night for you
That you'll keep living just a little bit louder
And you'll keep singing just a little bit prouder
Conformity's an answer but it's not the one for you
Forget what they say
You can be your own parade
Do what you wanna do
Today I saw my favorite picture of you
It's real and it's true
Unencumbered you
I hope that you can keep
That sense of this is me
It's what I pray with every breath for you
That you'll keep living just a little bit louder
And you'll keep singing just a little bit prouder
Conformity's an answer but it's not the one for you
Forget what they say
You can be your own parade
Do what you wanna do
That you'll keep living just a little bit louder
And you'll keep singing just a little bit prouder
Conformity's an answer but it's not the one for you
Forget what they say
You can be your own parade
Do what you wanna do
