Namesake - Anaïs Mitchell

I’ve worn out all of your records

I’ve torn out page after page

I have lain with the shadows you threw

When you danced with the bright colored lights of the stage

Hey and aren’t you grateful?

Say and ain’t you got fun?

Being so good at what you do

Doing it right in front of everyone

Everybody knows you

I want to know you!

How you roll like the rolling waters

You rise like the bright morning stars

You go fast like the freight train going so fast

And I don’t even know who you are

But I would not disappoint you

If you let me kiss your mouth

If you let me get to the bottom of you

If you let me find you out

Everybody knows you

Nobody knows you!

Everybody knows you

I want to know you!

O, but I, in the name of my namesake

Am a beautiful fly on the wall of

Your four-chambered heart-break

A spy in the house of your love
