(Verse 1)

We don’t do dinner under candlelight,

We watch the TV flicker through the night.

You collect the maps of places we will never go,

I count the static spaces on the radio.

They say we’re mismatched, ticking out of time,

Two crooked numbers that will never rhyme.

But I like the way your shadows fit into my space,

A beautiful disaster that the world cannot erase.

(Chorus)

Oh, You're my strange love, my beautiful mistake,

You’re the only habit that I never want to break.

We are upside down, we are out of tune,

Chasing down the midnight for a piece of the moon.

Let the world keep talking, let them call us blind,

They don't know the secrets that we left behind.

Yeah, you’re my strange love,

And you’re completely mine.

(Verse 2)

You read the endings of the books first,

I have a quiet, uninvited thirst.

For the way you laugh at things that make the others cry,

And how you never ask a single question why.

We build our castles out of cardboard boxes in the rain,

We find a comfort in the center of the crazy pain.

No white picket fences, no ordinary plans,

Just a sudden electric current when you hold my hands.

(Chorus)

Oh, You're my strange love, my beautiful mistake,

You’re the only habit that I never want to break.

We are upside down, we are out of tune,

Chasing down the midnight for a piece of the moon.

Let the world keep talking, let them call us blind,

They don't know the secrets that we left behind.

Yeah, you’re my strange love,

And you’re completely mine.

(Bridge)

They want a love that’s painted neat inside the lines,

A perfect pattern, predictable designs.

But we are watercolor running in the heavy storm,

A little chaotic, beautifully deformed.

And I wouldn't trade your jagged edges for the smoothest stone,

In this eccentric little universe we built alone.

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus)

Oh, You're my strange love, my beautiful mistake,

You’re the only habit that I never want to break.

We are upside down, and we're out of tune,

Chasing down the midnight, for a piece of the moon.

Let the world keep talking, let them call us blind,

They will never know, the secrets that we left behind.

Yeah, you’re my strange love,

And you’re completely mine.

(Outro)

Perfectly peculiar.

Beautifully bizarre.

I love you exactly just the way you are.

My strange love.

Yeah, my strange love.

We are right where we belong.
