Cool Kids Table

[Verse 1]
I check my phone for a win
Like a coin in my palm
One more text, one more nod
One small sign I belong
I stack my days like bricks
Try to build something gold
But the mirror keeps saying
“You’re still out in the cold”

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep running fast
Still feeling left behind
Like every door is open
But not to me inside
I want the kind of moment
That makes my chest feel light
I want to walk in
And not apologize

[Chorus]
Cool kids table, save me a seat
Cool kids table, don’t let me leave
I want that laugh, that look, that glow
Like I was chosen, like I’d always know
Cool kids table, say my name
Cool kids table, make me stay
I just want in, I just want proof
That I can be enough in the room

[Verse 2]
I wore my best on Tuesday
Like armor made of hope
Still I felt too heavy
Still I felt too broke
I won some little battles
Collected little stars
But praise falls off my shoulders
Before I reach the car

[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep running fast
Still feeling left behind
Like every door is open
But not to me inside
I want the kind of moment
That makes my chest feel light
I want to walk in
And not apologize

[Chorus]
Cool kids table, save me a seat
Cool kids table, don’t let me leave
I want that laugh, that look, that glow
Like I was chosen, like I’d always know
Cool kids table, say my name
Cool kids table, make me stay
I just want in, I just want proof
That I can be enough in the room

[Bridge]
If I keep earning it
Will it finally stick?
If I keep proving it
Will my heart still quit?
I don’t need perfect
I don’t need loud
I need one soft yes
That can hold me now

[Final Chorus]
Cool kids table, save me a seat
Cool kids table, don’t let me leave
I want that laugh, that look, that glow
Like I was chosen, like I’d always know
Cool kids table, say my name
Cool kids table, make me stay
I just want in, I just want proof
That I can be enough in the room

[Outro]
Enough in the room
Enough in the room
Cool kids table
Save me a seat
