Different On Purpose
Warm acoustic pop with subtle indie edge; fingerpicked guitar and soft piano under tight, intimate male vocals. Verses stay close and conversational, light percussion and soft bass. Chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, tambourine, and a simple singalong hook. Bridge strips back to vocal + guitar, then full band returns with a final lifted chorus.

Lyrics
Verse 1
You hate the rain
I watch it fall like old home movies
You talk in sparks
I trip on every word I’m choosing
You plan it out
I jump the fence and think it through later
You’re early there
I’m running up the stairs
Breathless
A chaser
Chorus
We’re different on purpose
Not pieces that match
Not copies on surface
Not lines on a graph
You’re colors I don’t have a name for
I’m scribbles on your map
We’re different on purpose
And I’m good with that
Verse 2
You dance in crowds
I find the corner and the exits
You trust first try
I build a thousand quiet questions
You write in ink
I leave the pencil marks and cross-outs
You’re steady ground
I’m waves that change their mind then calm down
Chorus
Bridge
So stay strange to me
Stay the way you came
Every scar
Every story
Every quirk
Every change
I don’t want a mirror
I want all your contrast
Hold my hand in the middle
Let the rest look and ask
Chorus
