Changing Your Name Lyrics - Singles - Ellis Paul

I judged the distance 

To where you ran your hand through your hair 

You were startled for an instant , you said, 

"take me home," and I paid the fare. 

And you laughed the laugh of the innocent 

As the cab cut a path in the street 

As the world swept by with it's violence 

I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets 

In the sheets 

Chorus 

I never asked you for nothing like changing your name 

I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came 

Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said 

When I told you I loved you 

Did it get in the way? get in the way? 

You lit a candle, 

Then you poured me a glass of port wine 

I pulled the oven handle, 

The air felt warm, the scent felt kind 

And your kiss could heal like medicine 

There ain't nothing that it can't overcome 

But I could not lean on this evidence, 

For fear you'd take the cure and run. 

You would run... 

Chorus 

Cause love won't stop to 

Think about the consequences 

Turns a fool to stumbling 

Over people's fences. 

And the moon cut a frown over windy town 

But you smiled as you pulled down the shade 

And we turned a corner onto holy ground 

And got lost in the love we made, that we made... 

Chorus 

Get in the way...
