Stay Strange

Lyrics - "Stay Strange" We leave the dishes in the sink for one more late-night drive. Talk about the shapes of clouds and how it feels to stay alive. You laugh at all my bad ideas, I sing along off-key with you. We’re not doing anything important, but it all feels honest, true. The world keeps saying grow up, pick a lane and play it safe. But I like the way our colors never fully stay in place. So stay soft, stay strange with me, let’s be wrong in all the right ways. Let’s keep loving like we mean it on the complicated days. We don’t have to fit the story they keep writing page by page. We can be here, kind and human, and still stay, still stay strange. You keep books in every corner, I keep dreams beside the bed. Both of us collect small moments like the world might lose its thread. Some nights we just watch the ceiling, trading thoughts we’re scared to say. Somehow nothing feels too broken when we hold it both this way. We are not a finished product, we are not a flawless plan. We are learning how to listen to the soft parts where we stand. So stay soft, stay strange with me, let’s be wrong in all the right ways. Let’s keep loving like we mean it on the complicated days. We don’t have to match the pattern or erase the parts that ache. We can be here, real and open, and still stay, still stay strange. If the years keep moving faster, if the news still shakes our bones, we can build a quiet shelter out of all the things we’ve grown. Every laugh line, every sleepless night that taught us how to care, becomes a map that says keep going, you’re allowed, to be like this here. So stay soft, stay strange with me, under ordinary stars. We’ll keep checking on our people, we’ll keep tending to our scars. We don’t need to be less tender, we don’t need to rearrange. We can walk into tomorrow hand in hand and stay stay strange. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Creative Credits Artist: Christopher Tharby (Second Voice North) Composition & Concept Development: Christopher Tharby x ChatGPT AI Music Engine: SUNO (Pro) Mix / Mastering Guidance: Assisted via ChatGPT prompts Visual Direction: Christopher Tharby AI Use Disclosure This song was created with the assistance of AI tools: SUNO (music generation) and ChatGPT (songwriting & production guidance).
