Ellis Paul - Changing Your Name
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 sheetsâ'‚¬¦
In the sheets
Chorus
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...
Chorus
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...
Chorus
Get in the way...
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 sheetsâ'‚¬¦
In the sheets
Chorus
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...
Chorus
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...
Chorus
Get in the way...
