My Name

Why don't you ask me

How long I've been waiting

Set down on the road

With the gunshots exploding

I'm waiting for you

In the gloom and the blazing

I'm waiting for you

I sing like a slave I know

I should know better

I've learned all my lessons

Right down to the letter

And still I go on like this

Year after year

Waiting for miracles

And shaking with fear

Why don't you answer

Why don't you come save me

Show me how to use

All these things

That you gave me

Turn me inside out

So my bones can save me

Turn me inside out

You've come this close

You can come even closer

The gunshots get louder

And the world spins faster

And things just get further

And further apart

The head from the hands

And the hands from the heart

One thing that's true

Is the way that I love him

The earth down below

And the sky up above him

And still I go on like this

Day after day

Still I go on like this

Now I've said this

I already feel stronger

I can't keep waiting for you

Any longer

I need you now

Not someday

When I'm ready

Come down on the road

Come down on the road

My name, my nam

Nothing is the same

I won't go back

The way I came
