I Wish I Knew Your Name
Another run-down coffee shop
Back when you could smoke inside
She hid behind a burning cigarette
The chipped porcelain matched her smile
Husband's ashes in her back seat
Calling that box by his first name
She refused to say goodbye
Not even after flame
And I want a love like that
Through the thick and through the thin
And I want a love that last
Through the thick and through the thin
I wish I knew your name
So that I could find your grave
And I'd sing your ghost this song
And I'd tell you, you weren't wrong
With your husband's ashes in the back seat
Calling that box by his first name
She refused to say goodbye
Not even after flame
And I want a love like that
Through the thick and through the thin
And I want a love that last
Through the thick and through the thin
Across the ocean through the storm
Across the desert in the sun
Now all my lovers left me
Every single one, every single one
And I wish I knew your name
Back when you could smoke inside
She hid behind a burning cigarette
The chipped porcelain matched her smile
Husband's ashes in her back seat
Calling that box by his first name
She refused to say goodbye
Not even after flame
And I want a love like that
Through the thick and through the thin
And I want a love that last
Through the thick and through the thin
I wish I knew your name
So that I could find your grave
And I'd sing your ghost this song
And I'd tell you, you weren't wrong
With your husband's ashes in the back seat
Calling that box by his first name
She refused to say goodbye
Not even after flame
And I want a love like that
Through the thick and through the thin
And I want a love that last
Through the thick and through the thin
Across the ocean through the storm
Across the desert in the sun
Now all my lovers left me
Every single one, every single one
And I wish I knew your name
