Names Like Songs - La Bouquet

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
