Format - Your New Name lyrics

rate me

Stayed awake for 15 hours waiting on your reply<br />

So I came outside to kill my lungs <br />

And to kiss the night goodbye <br />

I thought about your favorite sweater <br />

Now I'm wishing it was at our feet <br />

If I could change one thing about you <br />

I'd call you Annelise 'cause it's better than Jen <br />

<br />

Hey Annelise <br />

Won't you come with me to Central Park <br />

We'll catch a cab or we could stray from wheels <br />

And walk this boulevard <br />

But you don't respond <br />

You're gonna end up dull <br />

Much like your parents are <br />

Hey Annelise <br />

Don't you ever feel the need to leave <br />

Oh that's me scared of what you people will think <br />

<br />

I'm your favorite second rate singer <br />

Holding out both my hands <br />

I'm cursed with the voice of a kid <br />

And pent up three word commands <br />

So "tie the rope, tap the break, cause a scene" <br />

Whatever keeps me in control <br />

Cause these bones are growing tiresome <br />

And they can't seem to hold my soul <br />

My whole heart, it's a joke <br />

<br />

Hey Annelise <br />

Won't you cross my mind on a stampede ride <br />

Screw Hollywood <br />

'cause we've got better things to do than fake our lives <br />

But you don't respond <br />

So won't you give up your birthright <br />

Hey Annelise <br />

Don't you ever feel the need to leave <br />

That's me scared of what you people will think <br />

<br />

Hey I'm alone and I want something real <br />

Not a name cause my heart needs to heal <br />

I want a girl who won't disappear <br />

Oh I can see her in dark and dull colors <br />

But coming in clear <br />

Ah here she comes <br />

Here she comes <br />

Here she comes <br />

Here she comes <br />

Ah here she comes <br />

There she goes
