[Verse 1]
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
[Chorus 1]
And now we're grown-up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Verse 2]
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
[Chorus 2]
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Bridge]
I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name
[Outro]
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
[Chorus 1]
And now we're grown-up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Verse 2]
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
[Chorus 2]
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Bridge]
I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell 'em your name
[Outro]
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
