[Intro – close whisper] If you forget my face, remember the name. [Verse 1] If tomorrow holds one plate, If my shoes become misplaced, If the photograph turns pale And leaves no outline where I stood, If my mother counts her children And stops counting after one, Don’t believe the quiet room. Don’t believe that I am gone. [Pre-Chorus] I am more than empty air, More than dust upon the frame. When the world forgets I lived, Let the wall remember me. [Chorus] Write my name, write my name Where the rain can’t wash it away. Carve it deep into the wall, Make the silence say it all. Write my name, write my name When the world erases my face. If your memory starts to break, Let the letters take my place. [Post-Chorus] Write it down. Don’t let go. N-O-A-H. Make the whole house know. [Verse 2] There’s a small green dinosaur Still beneath my empty bed. If they ask who left it there, Don’t believe what they forget. Keep the glass I chipped in winter. Keep the coat behind the door. Keep the stupid song I hated. Keep the marks along the floor. [Pre-Chorus] Every object holds a wound, Every wound can guard a name. When the dark rewrites the truth, Promise you will stay the same. [Chorus] Write my name, write my name Where the rain can’t wash it away. Carve it deep into the wall, Make the silence say it all. Write my name, write my name When the world erases my face. If your memory starts to break, Let the letters take my place. [Bridge] Names are knots inside of time. Names are doors that will not close. Names are how the missing leave A fingerprint nobody knows. So write until the pencil breaks. Write until the plaster falls. Write through every stolen memory. Write me back into these walls. [Breakdown – layered whispers] Who slept here? Who laughed here? Who held your hand? N-O-A-H. Who called you? Who loved you? Who still remembers? I do. [Final Chorus – Mina’s answer] I wrote your name, wrote your name Where the rain could never reach. Cut it deep into the wall When I could no longer speak. I wrote your name, wrote your name When they looked straight through your face. And when memory began to break, I let the letters take its place. I wrote your name through dust and pain Until the walls remembered you. Let the world forget again. I know your name. I know the truth. [Outro] Noah. You were here.
