Your Name

I see you walking your dog
I see you petting the old stray cat
I see you feeding the birds
I gotta know your name

I know you don’t have a girlfriend
I know you don’t have a boyfriend either
I know you live on my street
I gotta know your name

oh why
Can’t I just get up the courage to ask
Your face looks pretty kind
But what if you turn to me and laugh

oh why
Can’t I just walk up and say hello
My brain goes blank every time I try
You look up and your eyes go through me, though

I see you walking the beach
I see you talk to the guy on the corner
I see the dreams in your eyes
I gotta know your name

I know the tunes that you like
I know the coffee you always order
I know you leave a big tip
I gotta know your name

I know you’re out of my league
I know you’ll probably leave this city
You’re so much cooler than me
I gotta know your name

I see you packing your bags
Looks like you’re moving across the country
You’re stepping into a cab
I never knew your name

The city lights are too bright
I'm walking around in a purple trance
The stars have all gone out
I never knew your name
