Same Old Table

Mama’s in the kitchen, coffee on low

Daddy’s watchin’ weather like he always knows

My brother’s runnin’ late, says traffic was bad

Sister don’t talk much since that fight we had

Pictures on the wall say we’re doin’ just fine

But nobody mentions what’s on their mind

We learned real young how to bite our tongue

Smile for the world, say “we’re alright”

Yeah, we’re sittin’ at the same old table

Passin’ love and a little bit of pain

Some hearts are breakin’, some still able

Some just learn how to hide the rain

We don’t always say it, but we’re holdin’ on tight

We’re a mess, we’re a miracle, all in the same night

Yeah, we’re family—wrong and right

At the same old table every Friday night

Daddy says “work hard,” mama says “pray”

Both mean well, just different ways

Grandpa’s chair still creaks in the hall

We don’t move it, no, not at all

Everybody’s carryin’ somethin’ unseen

Old regrets and “what could’ve been”

We talk ‘bout town and who’s leavin’ next

Anything but what’s weighin’ on our chest

Yeah, we’re sittin’ at the same old table

Passin’ love and a little bit of pain

Some hearts are breakin’, some still able

Some just learn how to hide the rain

We don’t always say it, but we’re holdin’ on tight

We’re a mess, we’re a miracle, all in the same night

Yeah, we’re family—wrong and right

At the same old table every Friday night

If I’m honest, I’ve thought ‘bout walkin’ away

Startin’ over in some other place

But blood’s a road you don’t outrun

You just learn how to drive it, mile by mile, one by one

So we’re sittin’ at the same old table

Older now, but still the same

Sayin’ “I love you” without the label

Laughin’ through the hurt and shame

We don’t always fix it, but we show up anyway

Through the storms, the silence, the words we don’t say

Yeah, we’re family—here to stay

At the same old table, come what may

When the house gets quiet and the lights burn low

I know where I’m from, and I know where I’ll go

No matter how far life’s able to take me

There’s a seat saved there waitin’ on me
