Names Like Songs

Spent three days alone in my apartment When I lived uptown Wine bottle turned to vinegar on my counter As I blacked out Drove nine hours north to Tennessee All I had were these memories Listening to the same three bands Back from when I was your man Now I'm something else entirely Just a lover from the past-tense diary Looking back at the same two kids I don't think that they would have missed Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Spent a week alone in Austin Texas When I moved out Marlboro's lined the ash tray by my window They cleaned my mouth I rode it back around the busy streets Begging my mind just to think clearly You made me listen to this cool new band The singer used to be your man Now I'm crying out, quietly Throwing away all these make-shift rivalries Looking back at the same two kids We should have know that they could have it Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs I've been haunted by the world I've been softened by her touch But it won't last long now Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs Everyone looks so beautiful Their names sounded just like songs
