Everyone Else Knows

Verse 1

They lower their voices when I walk in

Smiles get stitched on way too tight

The preacher shook my hand and wouldn't meet my eyes

Somebody's been talking through the night

Pre-Chorus

I count the whispers like I count the days

Every tongue is turning slow

Something's crawling underneath this town

And I'm the last one left to know

Chorus

I don't know but everyone else seems to know

I don't know but every face is turned away

I don't know but everybody's in on it

And I'm the only fool still standing in the rain

I don't know

I don't know

Verse 2

My brother changed his number in the spring

Mama leaves the porch light off for me

There's a name they won't say when I'm around

And a chair that's always empty at the feast

Pre-Chorus

I read the letters that they never send

I hear the door that softly closes

Something's growing roots under this house

And I'm the last one who supposes

Chorus

I don't know but everyone else seems to know

I don't know but every face is turned away

I don't know but everybody's in on it

And I'm the only fool still standing in the rain

I don't know

I don't know

Bridge

Tell me why the dogs all bark at my shadow

Tell me why the river won't hold my name

Tell me why the mirror keeps on turning

Like it's tired of playing my game

Chorus

I don't know but everyone else seems to know

I don't know but every face is turned away

I don't know but everybody's in on it

And I'm the only fool still standing in the rain

I don't know

I don't know

I don't know
