A New Name for Everything
The Weakerthans
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
When the bus shelter windows and napkin dispensers surprise With distorted reflections, it's never the someone you're hoping to recognize And the rent is too high living here between reasons to live Where you can't sleep alone and your memories groan and the borders of night start to give When you can't save Cash or conviction, you're broke and you're breaking A tired shoelace or a wave So long past past-due, a new name for everything When the one-ways collude with the map that you folded wrong And the route you abandoned is always the path that you probably should be upon When the bottle cap ashtrays and intimates' ears are all full With results of your breath, and the threads of your fear are unfurled with the tiniest pull One more time, try Stand with your hands in your pockets and stare At the smudge on a newspaper sky And ask it to rain a new name for everything Fire every phrase They don't want to work for us anymore Dot and dash our days Make your face the flag of a semaphore All you won't show The boxes you brought here and never unpacked are still patiently waiting to go So put on those clothes you never grew into, and smile like you mean it for once If you come back, bring a new name for everything
