What's in a Name?

Dear Shakespeare, it's me, Mercutio
Will I ever be like a Romeo
But all my friends tell me I'm just a psycho

I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand
I don't think they understand

When he leaves, I die inside
In the street I wait all night
Change my sign, change my number, change something so I'm not me
Am I strange? And I strange? What's in a name? What's in a name

All my friends say it's hard being friends with me
They say it's like juggling liquid mercury
Maybe cold honesty remedies fever dreams
But a rose by any other name is just as thorny

I don't think they understand
I don't think you understand

Yesterday was tomorrow in masquerade
I'm like propane, conflicted if I'm liquid or flame
Change my sign, change my number, change something so I'm not me
Am I strange? Am I strange? What's in a name? What's in a name

Between clouds of cigarette smoke
And drink coasters made from people's hopes
And infinite horizons that make me feel enclosed

Here goes, I strike my created pose
Everyone loves premeditated woes

Change my sign, change my number, change something so I'm not me
Am I strange? Am I strange? What's in a name? What's in a name? What's in a name? What's in a name?
