A New Name For Everything

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
