Lyrics Roddy Woomble

Roddy Woomble

If I Could Name Any Name

You know where you are

At the end of the alphabet

When letters run out

And you're left with your name

And you turn and you pace

Just to choose a new age

Til you find one more day that's the same

The phrases that shade me

The moments escape me

When you called me the name I became

In the space between

What we say and what we mean

Until we find one more day that's the same

And time will stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

Back to a place

Where I chose my own name

Watch time stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

If I could name any name

You know where you are

At the end of the argument

Surrounded by echoes

That take on the strain

Like the words that fall down

Like the rain on the ground

Until we find one more day that's the same

And time will stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

Back to a place

Where I choose my own name

Watch time stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

If I could name any name

It's these moments that made me

And rumors that save me

They taught me the things that I finally became

Through the mirror between

What we know and we mean

Til we find one more day that's the same

And time will stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

Back to a place

Where I chose my own name

Watch time stop and start again

You're leaving my heart again

If I could name any name

If I could name any name

If I could name any name
