You’ve Always Gone by a Lot of Names Lyrics by ​leon Salgeuro

Speak with a Slur

2020

[Part I: Lynn]
[Verse 1]
Would it be hypocritical if you were to hear
The words I've hid from you for the past year?
That I had before I cut the rope?
I know you know
That something was there, that only came to me
When I cut the connection I now look for desperately
Hoping someday
I could make it up to you someway
[Chorus 1]
When I smell smoke coming from the next room
I pray it turns out to be you
My hands have always longed to feel your burn
As my heart starts getting overworked
Bursting like fireworks
(Bursting like fireworks)
(Bursting likе fireworks)
[Verse 2]
It seems I just get lost as I go further in
Whеn the line between weeks become months get more thin
Start to decay
Why the fuck did I push you away?
Now the gate whence I came is engraved with all your names
Yeah, I beat myself up, it's just how I take blame
Despite this dismay
I hope this gets to you someday
[Chorus 2]
Won't you come and pour down from the vent?
Submerge my home and get my clothes wet
I know I'll find peace in the flood
Take my breath away in more ways than one
As neighbours call the waterworks!
[Part II: Lizzie]
[Refrain]
(It's gonna be a long, long drive)
[Verse 3]
I know I cut you off
I scavenged for you desperately
To my surprise, you found me
But I didn’t tell you everything
And now I just can't help
But get the feeling you can't breathe
I've never met him, but I find it kinda funny how you described
His colours perfectly, the ones you now claim not to see
[Chorus 3]
The truth is, you were closer than I thought you'd be
Would I have still bothered had I missed your gaze entirely
Hypothetically?
Did you ever really notice my absency?
Now I have my doubts that we’ll ever have the same energy
Talk so tongue-in-cheek
[Refrain]
(It's gonna be a long, long drive)
(It's gonna be a long, long drive)
[Bridge]
Where does the time go?
Is it alright if we talk some more?
Simmer in our similar brainwaves?
You're still beautiful as you were before, if not more
Oh, I never quite knew
How alike we are, me and you
It's not everyday I‘m this fortunate
If it slips from my grasp, I fall with it
(I fall with it!)
[Part III: Tara Elizabeth]
[Verse 4]
I can't seem to get to you through other means
I'll do my time for getting lost in a dream
Whether for getting to comfortable, for doing the same thing
You weren't in the wrong to throw it all back to me
[Verse 4]
I can't seem to get to you through other means
I'll do my time for getting lost in a dream
Whether for getting to comfortable, for doing the same thing
You weren't in the wrong to throw it all back to me
[Verse 5]
I still wish I was there to stop me from locking the door
'Cause it's no help having seen this wall before
Your voice will still resonate but won't keep me up anymore
Kept me grounded, helped me to the door
Isn't that what friends are for?
[Outro]
(One, two, three, four)
