Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper plates, crowded kitchen
But there’s one spare chair
They’re all talking over dinner
Like I ain’t even there
Pass the jokes right past me
Pass the bowls and bread
My name’s just a last name
No one says it out loud
[Chorus]
I’m the echo at the end of every hallway
I’m the coat on the hook that they forget
I’m the picture in the frame they never straighten
Just some “how you been?” they always skip
I’m the one left out at the table
Where I’m supposed to belong
Trying to call this place my family
When it feels like I’m all wrong
[Verse 2]
Birthday cake, faded candles
They forgot my year
They remember every story
I was never near
Smile for one more photo
“Move in closer, son”
But I’m standing on the edge line
Like I’m not their only one
[Chorus]
I’m the echo at the end of every hallway
I’m the coat on the hook that they forget
I’m the picture in the frame they never straighten
Just some “how you been?” they always skip
I’m the one left out at the table
Where I’m supposed to belong
Trying to call this place my family
When it feels like I’m all wrong
[Bridge]
If I packed my bags by morning
Would they notice I was gone? (would they care at all?)
Or just set out one less plate
And keep right carrying on
[Chorus]
I’m the echo at the end of every hallway
I’m the coat on the hook that they forget
I’m the picture in the frame they never straighten
Just some “how you been?” they always skip
I’m the one left out at the table
Trying hard to stay strong
Calling strangers home in my own head
’Cause this house don’t feel like home
