Your New Name

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
