The Smith Street Band
When I Change My Name
[Verse 1]
I think I’m supposed to be
I think I’m supposed to be lonely
But life doesn’t stop when you fall down
And falling down never stopped me
Cannot reason with the fire
Once it decides it’s burning down your home
Stop listening to music we’re all fucking liars
Without you we’d have nowhere else to go

[Chorus]
Can’t get much closer, can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future there’s always something amiss
Can’t get much closer, can’t get much closer than this
I’m scarеd of the future therе’s always something and
I walk in my room and I kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name

[Verse 2]
I’ll never be like the people in advertisements
Down the barrel of the camera with a knowing smile and a wry grin
Even after witnessing such destructive purposeless
Next time it’s at my front door I’d have a hard time not letting it in
What no one tells you about men who disappear into madness is sometimes they welcomed it
What no one tells you about being smothered by sadness is Sometimes the smothering can be kinda comforting
Sometimes the smothering can be kinda comforting
Sometimes the smothering can be kinda comforting
[Chorus]
Can’t get much closer, can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future there’s always something amiss
Can’t get much closer, can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future there’s always something and
I walk in my room and I kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name

[Outro]
Let the memories fade
Let the sunlight in
Let the music change
Let the people sing
Let the stars collide
Let the bastards win
Let the memories die
Become everything

[Chorus]
I walk in my room and I kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name
When I change my name
When I change my name
