Anaïs Mitchell
Namesake (2014)
[Verse 1]
I have worn out all of your records
I have torn out page after page
I have lain with the shadows you threw when you danced
With the bright colored lights of the stage

[Verse 2]
Hey, and aren't you grateful?
Say, and ain't you got fun?
Being so good at what you do
Doin' it right in front of everyone

[Chorus]
Everybody knows you
I want to know you

[Verse 3]
How you roll like the rolling waters
You rise like the bright morning stars
You go fast like the freight train, going so fast
And I don't even know who you are

[Verse 4]
But I would not disappoint you
If you'd let me kiss your mouth
If you let me get to the bottom of you
If you let mе find you out
[Chorus]
Everybody knows you
Nobody knows you
Everybody knows you
I want to know you

[Verse 5]
Oh, but I, in the namе of my namesake
Am a beautiful fly on the wall
Of your four-chambered heartbreak
A spy in the house of your love
