Call Me By My Name

Call me by my name
I like it when I see it in your mouth
Or on the page
Write me by the way
I like it when I see the way your mind
Begins to change

Give me something good, I want it
Give me something to believe in, I need it
And though I'm out of sight

You know that I would never leave you all alone
Turning off the blue light so you don't have to go
I don't really know you but I might
Turning off the blue light, never saying goodnight

Let me count the ways
That I can rearrange the thought of you
Inside my brain
Let me be the rain
That keeps you in the house and in my head
And makes you stay

Give me something good, I want it
Give me something to believe in, I need it
And though I'm out of sight

You know that I would never leave you all alone
Turning off the blue light so you don't have to go
I don't really know you but I might
Turning off the blue light, never saying goodnight

But if you believe in me too
Then I could be your someone
A glimpse of better days
A pen pal for the new age

And if you would take a chance
Then I will do the social dance
That tells us what to say
And makes us feel a new way

If you just call me by my name
I like it

Give me something good, I want it
Give me something to believe in, I promise that

I would never leave you all alone
Turning off the blue light so you don't have to go
I don't really know you but I might
Turning off the blue light

And just saying that I would never leave you all alone
Turning off the blue light so you don't have to go
I don't really know you but I might
Turning off the blue light, never saying goodnight
