Lyrics
[Verse 1] I was there for a little while Knew the names, knew the house Knew the jokes that made you laugh Then I quietly stepped away No falling out, no final scene No reason anyone could name Just one less chair around the table And nobody seem to notice [Chorus] I am the special guest Just here for my cameo I know everybody's names Then I'm gone before you know And when the next scene starts Nobody mentions me Maybe that's what I was there for Maybe that's all I'll ever be [Verse 2] Every now and then I reappear And nothing feels completely strange We pick up like we left yesterday Then somebody changes the page I know the old stories You remember some of mine We laugh about the people we were Then disappear back into time [Chorus] I am the special guest Just here for my cameo I know everybody's names Then I'm gone before you know And when the next scene starts Nobody mentions me Maybe that's what I was there for Maybe that's all I'll ever be Do you remember that time? Wait... was that me? I remember being there. Pretty sure I was there. Was I? Yeah... I think I was. I don't remember exactly what happened. Did it even happen? Does it even matter? Anyway what was i saying. [Chorus] I am the special guest Just here for my cameo I know everybody's names Then I'm gone before you know And when the next scene starts Nobody mentions me Maybe that's what I was there for Maybe that's all I'll ever be [Outro — quiet] Probably.
