Changing Your Name Lyrics

I judged the distance To where you ran your hand through your hair You were startled for an instant , you said, "Take me home," and I paid the fare. And you laughed the laugh of the innocent As the cab cut a path in the street As the world swept by with it?s violence I thought of the shelter we'd find in the sheets? In the sheets I never asked you for nothing like changing your name I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said When I told you I loved you Did it get in the way? Get in the way? You lit a candle, Then you poured me a glass of port wine I pulled the oven handle, The air felt warm, the scent felt kind And your kiss could heal like medicine There ain't nothing that it can?t overcome But I could not lean on this evidence, For fear you'd take the cure and run. You would run... I never asked you for nothing like changing your name I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said When I told you I loved you Did it get in the way? Get in the way? Cause Love won?t stop to Think about the consequences Turns a fool to stumbling Over people?s fences. And the moon cut a frown over windy town But you smiled as you pulled down the shade And we turned a corner onto holy ground And got lost in the love we made, that we made... I never asked you for nothing like changing your name I believed we had something here, but nothing ever came Were you thrown by the language, by words that we said When I told you I loved you Did it get in the way? Get in the way? Get in the way...
