Post 281: My Name (10/1/01)

 My Name (8/20/09 c, 10/1/01 w)

You say you want to come over tonight

So I’m lighting candles
Turning on the stereo
Nice and low

With the lights dimmed

Whenever you are around
I forget everything
I can’t remember my name
I don’t know where I’ve been
It’s like I can’t hear a sound
Whenever you’re alone with me
I just freeze
I can’t remember your name

Face to face and cheek to cheek

Hard to believe it’s been a week

The things you say
And the things you mean
Stay with me

With the lights dimmed

Whenever you are around
I forget everything
I can’t remember my name
I don’t know where I’ve been
It’s like I can’t hear a sound
Whenever you’re alone with me
I just freeze
I can’t remember your name

Time alone

With no one else
You’re holding me
It’s getting hard to control myself

My resolve could fail at any time
Please say you’ll be mine

With the lights dimmed

Whenever you are around
I forget everything
I can’t remember my name
I don’t know where I’ve been
It’s like I can’t hear a sound
Whenever you’re alone with me
I just freeze
I can’t remember your name
