Everyone But Me

I saw the photograph
Before I saw the time

Nobody did it on purpose
That is the part that stings
There was no vote, no meeting
Just a night that simply happened
Six of you around one table
And a joke I'll never get

I am forty on the outside
And nine years old tonight

Everyone but me
Everyone but me
I'm not angry, I'm not asking
I just counted, that's all
Everyone but me
And I'll say that I was busy
When you ask me on Monday

I press the little heart
The way a grown up does
I type that it looked lovely
And I put the screen face down
It is such a small thing
It is such a small thing

Everyone but me
Everyone but me
I'm not angry, I'm not asking
I just counted, that's all
Everyone but me
And I'll say that I was busy
When you ask me on Monday

There's a version of tonight
Where I'm in the second row
Laughing at the ending
Of a story I was in
It costs you nothing
And it changes all of it

Call me next time, even late
Even out of pity
I would say yes
I would say yes

Everyone but me
Everyone but me
I just counted, that's all
Everyone but me

Just count me in.
