about

"There's a Seat at the Table" is about having a person close to you missing from your life, watching that person lose themselves, and hoping to welcome them back home. The song is written from a personal perspective and it was inspired by stories of families who have had loved ones battle addiction.

lyrics

A year ago you left us high and dry
A year ago caught in your mess
A year ago and you was fighting yourself
In the mud with your regrets

But do you know our love is stronger
Thank the darkest roads you ran

And there's seat at the table where we are, where we are
This family is forever, yeah we are, yeah we are
Do you know how much we missed ya all these days, hoping for you to come home

Remember back before things had gone off base
Back before the false highs
back before you were gone away
Back before you loved the lie

Don't you know our bond is brighter
Than the darkest roads you ran
And there's room at this here table
It doesn't matter where you've been

There's seat at the table where we are, where we are
This family is forever, yeah we are, yeah we are
Do you know how much we missed ya all these days, hoping for you to come home

A year ago I thought I lost a friend
A year like part of me had died
So much it was not the same
Without them smiling eyes

But there's seat at the table where we are, where we are
This family is forever, yeah we are, yeah we are
Do you know how much we missed ya all these days, hoping for you to come home
