Christian Name Lyrics

Your side of the bed's made empty, left a few months back
Every breath I'm taking's labored, can a man die—
From that?

I've called up every friend I've ever had and pushed away
Their small acts of forgiveness give me hope for you and me
Someday

I'm named after great and faithful men
They were said to talk with God, and that, I can never understand
Trying to replace you with lookalikes on High Street
But lookalikes don't look just like the girl that called my street—
Home

When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name

Oh, here we go again, darlin' I'm singing drunk tonight
I pour 'em tall for you and me, then you and me, and you—
Again

I'm named after great and faithful men
They were said to talk with God, and that, I can never understand
Trying to replace you with lookalikes on High Street
But lookalikes don't look just like the girl that called my street—
Home

When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name

I'm named after great and faithful men
They were said to talk with God and that, I can never understand

When I ask God why I'm left with one to blame
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
When I ask God why, I'm left with one to blame
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name
My Christian name, oh, my Christian name

I pray you pray for me each night, wherever the hell you stay
I'll pour 'em tall for you and me, and you and my—
Christian name
