Borrowed Name
by Ash
Lyrics
Verse 1
I saw you laugh
With somebody else
And it hit like rain
On a paper dress
Your hand on hers
Like it knew the way
I looked away
But I stayed
Pre-Chorus
If I say your name
Will it crack the air?
If I reach for you
Will you disappear?
I keep my heart
Where you can't see
But it still leans
Back to me
Chorus
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
Borrowed name
Borrowed touch
Too close
Too far
Too much
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
Verse 2
You leave the room
And the whole thing fades
Like a shell of light
In the wake you make
I know your laugh
I know that door
I know the shape
Of wanting more
You never promised
You never lied
Still I keep
This ache inside
Pre-Chorus
If I say your name
Will it crack the air?
If I reach for you
Will you disappear?
I keep my heart
Where you can't see
But it still leans
Back to me
Chorus
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
Borrowed name
Borrowed touch
Too close
Too far
Too much
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
Bridge
Let me be
The one you miss
Let me haunt
A stolen wish
Not your truth
Not your home
Just the echo
When you're gone
Chorus
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
Borrowed name
Borrowed touch
Too close
Too far
Too much
I want you
I can't have you
I want you
Still I do
