  • You can have a lot of friends and still feel alone
    But there's a lot of hands
    Trying to mold you 'cause they think they can
    You're a band geek, you're popular
    A broken heart or a heartbreaker
    What do you do when you're in between?
    How do you label a freak like me?

    I'm a blackbird flying in a white fence town
    Got a church pew heart and a rock-and-roll mouth
    I'm a straight-A kid with a fake ID
    Little somewhere in between
    I'm a dark horse running where you can't run wild
    Got a good girl soul with a fast lane smile
    I'm a homecoming queen with a tattoo sleeve
    A 501 Blue dream
    What's the point of fitting in?
    'Cause at some point, I know we've all been
    Alien

    Alien

    I'm an open book full of mysteries
    With a runaway heart on a settle-down street
    I'm an outsider just looking in
    Not a 1 or a 2 or a perfect 10
    I'm a wildflower growing through the concrete
    Always somewhere I shouldn't be

    I'm a blackbird flying in a white fence town
    Got a church pew heart and a rock-and-roll mouth
    I'm a straight-A kid with a fake ID
    Little somewhere in between
    I'm a dark horse running where you can't run wild
    Got a good girl soul with a fast lane smile
    I'm a homecoming queen with a tattoo sleeve
    A 501 Blue dream
    What's the point of fitting in?
    'Cause at some point, I know we've all been
    Alien

    Do you ever feel like you were born
    In the wrong place, in the wrong time
    But there ain't nothing wrong with living your life?
    Alien

    Yeah, I'm a blackbird flying in a white fence town
    Got a church pew heart and a rock-and-roll mouth
    I'm a straight-A kid with a fake ID
    Little somewhere in between
    I'm a dark horse running where you can't run wild
    Got a good girl soul with a fast lane smile
    I'm a homecoming queen with a tattoo sleeve
    A 501 Blue dream, oh
    What's the point of fitting in?
    'Cause at some point, I know we've all been
