What’s In a Name Lyrics

[Hook: Mathai]
And now the sky is grey
And the stars we used to wish upon washed away
And oh, I feel alone
And my shadow is the only thing that follows me
As I walk the streets

[Verse 1: Luke Christopher]
When the sun hits the pretty world can I sleep in?
In a bed with a girl I'll never see again
In a house where the rainwater leaks in
Last night exchange secrets in the sheets and
She spoke about the city she was raised in
How ever since she left there, she been vacant

And 'cause she never really had a foundation
The devil on her shoulder be her life's narration

[Hook: Mathai]
And now the sky is grey
And the stars we used to wish upon washed away
And oh, I feel alone
And my shadow is the only thing that follows me
As I walk the streets

[Verse 2: Luke Christopher]
And when the moon hits the silent night can I stay out?
I'm in the streets wondering how my life will play out
What happens when your favorite stars turn grey now?

You never took the time to figure out how the options weigh out
And that's what makes me maddest of all
Like how does Cinderella run away from her ball

She had so much there, the rise before the fall
That angel on her shoulder couldn't reach her at all
[Hook: Mathai]
And now the sky is grey
And the stars we used to wish upon washed away
And oh, I feel alone
And my shadow is the only thing that follows me
As I walk the streets
