[Verse 1]
I’m standin’ in the hallway
While the whole world moves inside
Same patch on my shoulder
But I’m always passin’ by
I hear it through the walls
Yeah, I know that sound
But I’m back out in the dark
Before it ever dies down
I show up when it matters
I don’t ask for much
But I’m gone before it ever
Feels like I belong to us
Tell myself it’s fine
Just the way it goes
But it hits a little different
When it’s all you know
[Pre-Chorus]
They say “we’re all one team
Like it’s understood
So why don’t it feel like I ever
Stood where you stood?
[Chorus]
I’m the red headed stepchild
There’s not a place I belong
Same name on the building
But I’ve been outside all along
Yeah I show up, I carry it, I answer the call
But I’m still on the outside lookin’ in at it all
I’m the red headed stepchild
Still tryna prove I belong
[Verse 2]
I bring ‘em through your doors, then I fade away
Like I was never even there at the end of the day
You reset, catch your breath, talk about the scene
I’m already back to being somewhere in between
“Appreciate it”, yeah, I know the line
But it don’t hit the same every single time
It’s a nod, it’s a glance, then I’m back alone
Another run, another road, another ride home
[Bridge]
Not askin’ for a spotlight…
Just somewhere I can stand
Not tryin’ to be the center
Just part of the plan
But every time I get close
I’m right back where I began
[Chorus 2]
I’m the red headed stepchild
There’s not a place I belong
Same name on the building
But I’ve been outside all along
Yeah I bleed for it, break for it, answer the call
Still the last one they think of, if they think at all
I’m the red headed stepchild
Still tryna prove I belong
