Changing Your Name
I judge the distance to where you ran your
hand through your hair
You were startled for an instant , then
said, "Take me home, I'll pay the fare."
And you laughed the laugh of the innocent as
the cab cut a path in the street
As the world swept by with it’s
violence I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets… in the sheets
Chorus
I never asked you for nothing like changing
your name
I believed we had something here but nothing
ever came
Were you thrown by the language, by words
that we said
When I told you I loved you did it get in
the way? Get in the way?
You lit a candle, then you poured me a glass
of port wine
I pulled the oven handle, the air felt warm,
the scent felt kind
And your kiss could heal like medicine
There ain't nothing that it can’t
overcome
But I could not lean on this evidence, for
fear you'd take the cure and run. You would run...
Chorus
Cause love won’t stop to
Think about the consequences
Turns a fool to stumbling over people’s
fences.
And the moon cut a frown over windy town
But you smiled as you pulled down the shade
And we turned a corner onto holy ground and
got lost in the love we made, that we made...
Chorus
Get in the way...
