Your New Name Lyrics - Singles - Format

Stayed awake for 15 hours waiting on your reply 

So I came outside to kill my lungs 

And to kiss the night goodbye 

I thought about your favorite sweater 

Now I'm wishing it was at our feet 

If I could change one thing about you 

I'd call you Annelise 'cause it's better than Jen 

Hey Annelise 

Won't you come with me to Central Park 

We'll catch a cab or we could stray from wheels 

And walk this boulevard 

But you don't respond 

You're gonna end up dull 

Much like your parents are 

Hey Annelise 

Don't you ever feel the need to leave 

Oh that's me scared of what you people will think 

I'm your favorite second rate singer 

Holding out both my hands 

I'm cursed with the voice of a kid 

And pent up three word commands 

So "tie the rope, tap the break, cause a scene" 

Whatever keeps me in control 

Cause these bones are growing tiresome 

And they can't seem to hold my soul 

My whole heart, it's a joke 

Hey Annelise 

Won't you cross my mind on a stampede ride 

Screw Hollywood 

'cause we've got better things to do than fake our lives 

But you don't respond 

So won't you give up your birthright 

Hey Annelise 

Don't you ever feel the need to leave 

That's me scared of what you people will think
