Your New Name

Stayed awake for fifteen hours
Waiting on your reply
So I went outside to kill my lungs
And to kiss the night goodbye
Thought about your favorite sweater
Now I'm wishing it was at our feet
If I could change one thing about you
I'd call you Annalise
'Cause it's better than Jen

Hey Annalise
Won't you come with me to Central Park?
We could catch a cab
Or stray from wheels and walk this boulevard
You don't respond
You're gonna end up dull
Much like your parents are
Hey Annalise, don't you ever feel the need to leave?
That's me
Scared of what you people will think

Well I'm your favourite second rate singer
Holding out both my hands
I'm cursed with the voice of a kid
And pent up three-word commands
So tie the rope
Tap the brake
Cause a scene
Whatever keeps me in control
Because these bones have grown tiresome
And can't seem to hold my soul
My whole heart
It's a joke

Hey Annalise
Won't you cross my mind on a stampede ride?
Screw Hollywood
'Cause we've got better things to do than fake our lives
But you don't respond
You're gonna end up dull
So won't you give up your birthright?
Hey Annalise
Don't you ever feel the need to leave?
That's me, that's me
Scared of what you people will think

Well I'm alone
And I want something real
Not a name
I just want something real
I want the girl who won't disappear
Oh, I can see her in dark and dull colors
But coming in clear

Here she comes
Here she comes
Here she comes
And there she goes
