The Smith Street Band - When I Change My Name lyrics

I think I’m supposed to be
I think I’m supposed to be lonely
But life doesn’t stop when you fall down
And falling down never stopped me
Cannot reason with the fire
Once it decides it’s burning down your home
Stop listening to music we’re
All fucking liars
Without you we’d have nowhere else to go

Can’t get much closer
Can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future
There’s always something amiss
Can’t get much closer
Can’t get much closer than this
I’m scarеd of the future
Therе’s always something and
I walk in my room and I
Kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name

I’ll never be like the
People in advertisements
Down the barrel of the camera with a
Knowing smile and a wry grin
Even after witnessing such
Destructive purposeless
Next time it’s at my front door I’d have
A hard time not letting it in
What no one tells you about men who disappear
Into madness is sometimes they welcomed it
What no one tells you about
Being smothered by sadness
Is Sometimes the smothering can
Be kinda comforting
Sometimes the smothering can
Be kinda comforting
Sometimes the smothering can
Be kinda comforting

Can’t get much closer
Can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future
There’s always something amiss
Can’t get much closer
Can’t get much closer than this
I’m scared of the future
There’s always something and
I walk in my room and I
Kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name

Let the memories fade let the sunlight in
Let the music change let the people sing
Let the stars collide let the bastards win
Let the memories die become everything

I walk in my room and I
Kick off my work boots
My bed is unmade but in a good way
I can live with the nostalgia and the shame
When I change my name when I change my name
When I change my name
