Future Utopia, Dan Smith - What’s in a Name? lyrics

Some people spend their lives
Running away from it
Too many sleepless nights lying awake from it
Some people bank their cheques
By embracing it embracing it
Some people spend their lives
Running away from it
Too many sleepless nights lying awake from it
Some people roll their eyes
Just from hearing it from hearing it

It's the badge you wear
It's your own straightjacket
It's the cross you bear
It's your life in brackets
Is it who you are? Is it what you make it?
Just something you earn
Or can you dictate it?

How d'you feel
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
A day, a day your name, your name, your name
A day, a day, a day
Your name, your name, your name

So proud, he wrote it large all over his skin
Nothing in common with that body she's in
Every time you hear it said
It just makes you cringe it makes you cringe

It's the badge you wear
It's your own straightjacket
It's the cross you bear
It's your life in brackets
Is it who you are? Is it what you make it?
Just something you earn
Or can you dictate it?

How d'you feel
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
A day, a day your name, your name, your name
A day, a day, a day
Your name, your name, your name

You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
