lyrics

Your Very Own Name

Don’t turn around, cos’ you’ll only break my heart
Don’t look into my eyes saying you’ve got to make a new start
I know what you’re thinking inside, I know where you’d like to be
It’s another place and another world, even there you can never be free
‘Cause you’re carrying yourself everywhere you go and no one knows the pain
Of having to survive every day of your life without someone else to blame
Someone else to blame, instead of finding out your name, your very own name

Don’t smile that smile and pretend you understand
Don’t ask for more, cos I’ve given everything I can
I know what you’re feeling inside, I know what’s bringing you down
There’s a sign in the road pointing straight ahead, but you keep going round and round
‘Cause you’re worrying about everything you’ve lost, oh isn’t it a shame
Having to survive every day of your life without someone else to blame
Someone else to blame, instead of finding out your name, your very own name

You touch the sky, touch the moon
But you don’t look in to the eye of the sun
Wondering why it happened so soon
Your life is all undone
You haven’t yet begun to lift the stone

Don’t change your mind, now you finally made a move
Don’t hesitate, as if you had a point to prove
I know what you’re wondering about, I know it’s hard to comprehend
Walking along with your head in the clouds when there’s a train coming round the bend
‘Cause you’re running away from the rest of the world, it’s impossible to explain
Having to survive every day of your life without someone else to blame
Someone else to blame, instead of finding out your name, your very own name

You touch the sky, touch the moon
But you don’t look in to the eye of the sun
Wondering why it happened so soon
Your life is all undone
You haven’t yet begun to lift the stone
