Lyrics Names Like Songs - La Bouquet

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 your past-tense diary
Looking back at the same two kids
I don’t think that they would have missed
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Spent a week alone in Austin, Texas
When I moved out
Marlboros lined the ashtray by my window
They cleaned my mouth
I rode a bike 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 makeshift rivalries
Looking back at the same two kids
We should have known that they could have it
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
I’ve been hardened by the world
I’ve been softened by her touch
But it won’t last long now
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
Everyone looked so beautiful
Their names sounded just like songs
