Your Name

(album: Laundry Pile - 2023)

You grew up
In the nice part of town
With those fancy schools
You're embarrassed about

Even the sound of your name
Felt too good for me
What's in a name?
Just about everything

We started in secret
Ya, we started too soon
Moving through your apartment
From room to room

And when we were finished
No, I didn't wanna leave
What's in a name?
Just about everything

Love ain't no joke
It ain't no game

My whole world
Lives inside your name
My whole world
Ain't been the same

Now you can't have the joy
If you don't want the pain
My whole world
Lives inside, inside your name

Hearing everyone saying
Boy, you gotta move on
There's no question here
Who's the driver at fault

I'm not in the mood
So I'll start making some calls
If I don't have hope
I got nothing at all

Love ain't no joke
It ain't no game

My whole world
Lives inside your name
My whole world
Ain't been the same

Now you can't have the joy
If you don't want the pain
My whole world
Lives inside, inside your name

Love ain't no joke
It ain't no game
Deep in your heart
Do we want the same?

I want you to know
I need you to know
I'll throw up my hands
I'll take the blame

Oh darling, 'cause my whole world
Lives inside your name
My whole world
Ain't been the same

Now you can't have the joy
If you don't want the pain
My whole world
Lives inside, lives inside, lives inside your name
