My Name Lyrics

Why don't you ask me
how long I've been waiting?
Sat down on the road
with the gunshots exploding
I'm waiting for you
in the gloom and the blazing
I'm waiting for you...
I sing like a slave
I know I should know better
I've learned all my lessons
right down to the letter
and still I go on like this
year after year
waiting for miracles
and shaking with fear.

Why don't you answer?
Why don't you come save me?
Show me how to use
all these things that you gave me.
Turn me inside out
so my bones can save me.
Turn me inside out...
We've come this close
we can come even closer
The gunshots get louder
and the world spins faster
Things just get further and further apart
The head from my hands
And my hands from my heart.

One thing that's true
is the way that I love him
The Earth down below
and the sky up above him.
And still I go on like this
day after day.
And still I go on like this...
Now I've said this
I already feel stronger
I can't keep waiting for you
any longer.
I need you now
not some day when I'm ready.
Come down on the road.
Come down on the road...

My name, my name
nothing is
nothing is the same.
And I won't go back the way I came.
My name, my name
nothing is the same...
