Still Know My Name

[Intro — whispered, distant, heavy reverb] Sometimes I can't see Sometimes I feel the same There's nowhere I've been There's nowhere I've been [Verse 1 — low intimate vocal] Sometimes I say the wrong things I know I do it out of fear I'm never gonna call you low There's something else I need to hear I know the things I've done I'm standing in the darkest light I wanna stay inside myself I know the songs that keep me here [Pre-Chorus — delayed vocal, more space] I know the streetlamp's dead I know the blade of dawn I know the cuts I carry Even when I drag them on [Chorus — restrained, hypnotic, not pop] Sometimes I can see your face Sometimes I feel the weight Sometimes I lose myself Trying to say the pain Sometimes I feel the fault Sometimes I wear the fall Sometimes I save the pain But I can't save it all [Verse 2 — emotional, closer vocal] I see the way you stay I know that's all I'm saying Sometimes when I hear the tones It's like a siren call, pulling me back to what they mean I saw you hiding a smile In all the things between Your hands still held the silence When there was no one left to speak [Bridge — spoken/whispered, cinematic] I know the things I need to be I know the lies I need to leave I know the fall, I know the weight I know the ache that learns to breathe [Final Chorus — wider, more intense] Sometimes I can see your face Sometimes it rips me clean Sometimes I lose myself Trying to name what you mean Sometimes I feel the fault Sometimes I wear the fall Sometimes I hold what’s left too long And it still takes it all I keep your words in my mouth like coins [Outro — fading, ghost vocal] Sometimes I save the fall Sometimes I feel the same Sometimes I lose the light But I still know my name Sometimes it slips away Sometimes I call it back Sometimes I hear you gone And I don't get you back
