Name Lyrics

And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away

And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame

You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?

We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio

And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name

I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name, ow

I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are, come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name

What is the Meaning of Name?

This track is a poignant reflection on lost identity and the struggle to find oneself amidst life's trials. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia, regret, and longing for what could have been. The repeated line "I won't tell 'em your name" suggests an attempt to protect one's personal history or perhaps a loved one from the harsh realities of the world. It can also be seen as a metaphor for maintaining privacy in an increasingly intrusive society. The song seems to lament the loss of innocence and the inevitable passage of time, but also offers solace in shared solitude. 🎵 #LostIdentity #Nostalgia #SharedSolitude
