And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
I saw all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
tossed along the way
letters that you never meant to send
lost or thrown away
Chorus:
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
Chorus:
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name, Ow!
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
If it's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
