[Verse 1]
You write your name
In the fog on the kitchen window
Mismatched socks
Coffee stains on your favorite notebook
Bus is late
You just dance on the cracked old pavement
Laugh too loud
At the thought you could ever be “too much”
[Chorus]
Vita
You’re a wildflower in a paper cup
Vita
Spilling over, never adding up
To what they measure, what they say is “right”
You’re bright and sideways
Wrong in all the right ways
Vita
Don’t you ever try to shrink your light
[Verse 2]
Text unread
But you’re humming an old cartoon theme
Burnt toast, again
You just scrape off the edges, keep singing
Friends say “dream”
Like it’s something you still have to chase
You just point
At the sky and say “look, I’m already late”
[Chorus]
Vita
You’re a wildflower in a paper cup
Vita
Spilling over, never adding up
To what they measure, what they say is “right”
You’re bright and sideways
Wrong in all the right ways
Vita
Don’t you ever try to shrink your light
[Bridge]
One day you’ll see the way
Your chaos keeps the world awake
They’ll try to spell your name
But they’ll miss the way you say it
Soft like summer
Sharp like thunder
Perfect in your crooked line (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
Vita
You’re a wildflower in a paper cup
Vita
Spilling over, never adding up
To what they measure, what they say is “right”
You’re bright and sideways
Wrong in all the right ways
Vita
Hold your heart up to the morning sky
Vita
You were always meant to live this wide
You write your name
In the fog on the kitchen window
Mismatched socks
Coffee stains on your favorite notebook
Bus is late
You just dance on the cracked old pavement
Laugh too loud
At the thought you could ever be “too much”
[Chorus]
Vita
You’re a wildflower in a paper cup
Vita
Spilling over, never adding up
To what they measure, what they say is “right”
You’re bright and sideways
Wrong in all the right ways
Vita
Don’t you ever try to shrink your light

Stijl van muziek
Bright indie-pop with a touch of 2000s alt-rock; clean electric guitar arpeggios over bouncy drums, bass locking in tight under a hooky vocal line. Verses stay intimate and slightly dry, chorus widens with stacked harmonies and shimmery pads. Energetic, youthful, and anthemic, ideal for female vocals with a smile in the tone.
