Know Your Name
by Phao

Album: Something Cold - EP

I was nervous, feeling worthless
She was bright as the sun on the surface
We were dancing, holding hands when
I leaned in for a kiss on the lips
And out of nowhere, she says “stop right there”
“I've got a lot of possibilities I need to prepare”
For the future and I'm not sure
That I can see a man in the picture
But all I think about is how you shut me down

Not trying to find a hotel room
I've got no ring to offer you
Just wanna know your name
Don't want a one-night-stand
And I'm not trying to walk you down the aisle
Just wanna know your name

She's a rockstar, she was so far out of reach
But I knew I could reach her heart
On the surface, she was perfect
Hard to read but to me she was worth it
Back at my place, she said “give me space”
“I've got a lot of inner demons that I'm needing to face”
And this breakthrough that I went through
Brought me back to the fact I don't need you
But all I think about is how you shut me out

If it's all the same to you
If it's just a game to you
I'm so tired of playing, when I always play the fool
If it's all the same to you
If it's just a game to you
I'm so tired of waiting, just to stay the same
A little more each day I wish you knew
I'd never let you down
And I thought you'd know by now
I wanna know your name
