My Name

Lhasa

Why don’t you ask me 
How long i’ve been waiting 
Set down on the road 
With the gunshots exploding 
I’m waiting for you 
In the gloom and the blazing 
I’m waiting for you 
I sing like a slave i know 
I should know better 
I’ve learned all my lessons 
Right down to the letter 
And still i go on like this 
Year after year 
Waiting for miracles 
And shaking with fear 

Why don’t you answer 
Why don’t you come save me 
Show me how to use 
All these things 
That you gave me 
Turn me inside out 
So my bones can save me 
Turn me inside out 

You’ve come this close 
You can come even closer 
The gunshots get louder 
And the world spins faster 
And things just get further 
And further apart 
The head from the hands 
And the hands from the heart 

One thing that’s true 
Is the way that i love him 
The earth down below 
And the sky up above him 
And still i go on like this 
Day after day 
Still i go on like this 

Now i’ve said this 
I already feel stronger 
I can’t keep waiting for you 
Any longer 
I need you now 
Not someday 
When i’m ready 
Come down on the road 
Come down on the road 

My name my name 
Nothing is the same 
I won’t go back 
The way i came
