Borrowed Name

Текст песни

[Verse 1] You walked in wearing someone else’s name A silver ticket folded in your hand The room went quiet when you crossed the frame Like every promise had been preplanned I asked you softly, “Have we met before?” You smiled and turned the question back on me Then slipped your coat beside the ballroom door And moved as if you knew what I would see [Pre-Chorus] There’s a photograph tucked in your sleeve And a story you refuse to leave [Chorus] You pull me close, then disappear A perfect stranger in my ear If this is truth, why does it change Each time you call me by his name? Round and round, the room tilts wide You keep your secrets by my side I’m caught between the spark and doubt Tell me who you came here to find out [Verse 2] The band kept playing while the tables blurred Your red scarf brushed against my wrist You said, “Don’t trust every lovely word,” Then kissed the question I had missed Outside, the waiter found a broken seal A letter addressed to someone gone I watched you read it, watched your shoulders kneel Then heard the first train pull beyond the dawn [Pre-Chorus] There’s a photograph tucked in your sleeve And a story you refuse to leave [Chorus] You pull me close, then disappear A perfect stranger in my ear If this is truth, why does it change Each time you call me by his name? Round and round, the room tilts wide You keep your secrets by my side I’m caught between the spark and doubt Tell me who you came here to find out [Bridge] If you’re running from a borrowed past Let tonight be the one thing that can last No more masks beneath the chandelier Say my name and stay right here [Final Chorus] You pull me close, no more disguise I see the answer in your eyes Whatever road brought you to me Ends with the truth we choose to see Round and round, the room turns bright Your borrowed name falls out of sight I’m caught between the spark and doubt But I know who I came here to find out [Outro] The ticket fades, the morning starts Your real name rests against my heart
