Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They hand me a script with my name misspelled
A borrowed grin
A line that never lands
Back row kid in a sea of raised hands
I’m here
I’m here
But still not seen
[Pre-Chorus]
The hall is loud with everybody else
Their jokes ricochet off locker doors
I keep my voice tucked under my ribs
Like a match in a rainstorm
Begging for more
[Chorus]
Let me out
Let me out
I’ve been quiet too long
Let me out
Let me out
I was never just wrong
If they want a part
I’ll take the whole stage
Watch me turn the page
Turn the page
Let me out
Let me out
Hear me now
[Verse 2]
The spotlight’s warm as a summer bruise
It finds the cracks I’ve been hiding in
My knees shake hard
But my mouth says truth
And the room goes still like it’s listening
[Bridge]
So call me odd
Call me late
Call me far from the plan
I’ve got a pulse in my throat and a fire in my hands
I’m not their extra
Their joke
Their spare
I’m the one who was always there
[Final Chorus]
Let me out
Let me out
I’ve been quiet too long
Let me out
Let me out
I was never just wrong
If they want a part
I’ll take the whole stage
Watch me turn the page
Turn the page
Let me out
Let me out
Hear me now
