[Verse 1]
They say I'm too much
Or I’m way too quiet
Laugh at the wrong time
Read all my signs wrong
Every word I choose
Turns into a riddle
I’m a maze in a mirror
In the loud
Bright room
[Pre-Chorus]
But you
You hear the line between my lines
Catching all the pieces that I hide
How do you see through all my camouflage?
(yeah, you see me)
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect translation
Turn my chaos into meaning
Every awkward little sentence
You just smile
Say you get it
You’re my perfect translation
Hear my heart like it’s your language
In a world that calls me “too strange”
You just call me by my real name
My
My perfect translation
(oh, you get me)
[Verse 2]
People roll their eyes
When I get excited
Say that I’m “too weird”
Change the subject quick
But you save my words
Fold them like a secret
Wear them in your pocket
Like a lucky charm
[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause you
You read the pauses like a book
Even when I cannot find my voice
How do you make silence feel like home?
(you already know)
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect translation
Turn my chaos into meaning
Every awkward little sentence
You just smile
Say you get it
You’re my perfect translation
Hear my heart like it’s your language
In a world that calls me “too strange”
You just call me by my real name
My
My perfect translation
(hey, you get me)
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m a puzzle
Missing half the picture
But you hold it up to light
Say it’s still beautiful
If they never understand me
I’m still alright
‘cause lately
When I look into your eyes
The captions come alive
[Chorus]
You’re my perfect translation
Turn my chaos into meaning
Every awkward little sentence
You just smile
Say you get it
You’re my perfect translation
Hear my heart like it’s your language
In a world that calls me “too strange”
You just call me by my real name
My
My perfect translation
(oh, you get me)
(yeah, you get me)
