[Verse 1]
Truth of the matter
I’m a tangle of threads
You walk like a straight line
Clearest map in your head
You’re out catching daylight
Laughing loud just for fun
I’m pulling the curtains
’Til the whole day is done

[Pre-Chorus]
You touch my hand
Say
“Come outside”
You don’t see the storm
I keep inside

[Chorus]
It’s better if you don’t understand
’Til the glitter’s on your skin
Take my hand
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try
Spin with me under all this color
Lose that worry
Shake off that armor
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try

[Verse 2]
You’re sipping on soda
Reading signs on the wall
I’m chasing reflections
Down the long mirrored hall
You say it’s so simple
I just smile
Let it slide
You see what I show you
Not the waves in the tide

[Pre-Chorus]
You tap your foot
To the hallway sound
I pull you in
As the lights go down (come on)

[Chorus]
It’s better if you don’t understand
’Til the glitter’s on your skin
Take my hand
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try
Spin with me under all this color
Lose that worry
Shake off that armor
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try

[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and claps]
One step
Two step
Heart on the off-beat
Baby (hey!)
You say you “don’t dance”
But you’re moving like crazy
You laugh
I’m lighter
Than I’ve been for a while
Guess the truth of the matter
Is you love my wild

[Chorus]
It’s better if you don’t understand
’Til the glitter’s on your skin
Take my hand
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try
Spin with me under all this color
Lose that worry
Shake off that armor
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try (oh)
You won’t know what it’s like
’Til you try
