Your Name Songtext
von Joe Jenneman

When she told me where she wants to be
By the time the clock hits twenty-five
I had to roll my neck and rub my eyes
Cause the picture that she painted
Is the same one that′s engrained in
The truest part of my mind

I took the long way home tonight
I thought the rubber on the pavement
Might tell me what the day meant
These moments don't add up
Do they darlin′
I swear that I need you
But the city is callin'
And while I know there's gold
In California to claim
I don′t wanna whisper a word
Except for your name


If I had the ability
To compromise identity
I′d put on a hell of a disguise
I'd lie and say I′m doing grand
That your just a girl and I'm just a man
I′d lie and say I'm just tryin′ you on for size
But you can tell
By the length of my face
I ain't that sort of fellow
And this ain't that sort of case
Cause I
Wish that I could just not try
But instead I drive and drive and drive and drive

I took the long way home tonight
I thought the rubber on the pavement
Might tell me what the day meant
These moments don′t add up
Do they darlin′
I swear that I need you
But the city is callin'
And while I know there′s gold
In California to claim
I don't wanna whisper a word
Except for your name

Rings out in my head
Like a shotgun blast
Your mattress grew stiff
As we did the math
Countin′ miles and moments
Now my emotions are showin'
But I don′t care, I don't care


I took the long way home tonight
I thought the rubber on the pavement
Might tell me what the day meant
These moments don't add up
Do they darlin′
I swear that I need you
But the city is callin′
And while I know there's gold
In California to claim
I don′t wanna whisper a word
Except for your name
