“Name (New Version)” is a newly re-recorded version of Goo Goo Dolls' first commercially successful single “Name”, which appeared on their 1995 album A Boy Named Goo.
The new version features different instrumentation and some additional lyrical changes in the bridge and outro.
[Verse 1]
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
'Cause all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Get tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Get lost or thrown away
[Chorus 1]
And now we're grown-up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
You could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Verse 2]
Scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are?
[Chorus 2]
You grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
[Bridge]
Yeah yeah
I won't tell 'em your name
Mmm, oh-oh
I won't tell 'em your name
[Outro]
I think about you all the time
And I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
Name (New Version) was written by John Rzeznik & Robby Takac.
