Same Name

Some strange magic told him
It was meant to be
You have to admire the gall
To keep it up so long
From just an ephemeral thrill
But doesn't it always
Start this way?

You don’t have to tell me
How it came to this
When I should have rolled my eyes
You'd already gone
No doubt it was a genuine thrill
And doesn't it always
Start this way?

Remember when
He said we've got the same name
So it must be fate
I didn't have the heart to say
It’s just a thing around here
He said we want the same things
With a straight face
A little glint in your eye said
That's what you wanted to hear

Some strange magic told him
It was meant to be
And if you don’t feel it too
One of us is wrong
I know it’s a genuine thrill
And doesn't it always
Start this way?

Remember when
He said we've got the same name
So it must be fate
I didn't have the heart to say
It’s just a thing around here
He said we want the same things
With a straight face
A little glint in your eye said
That's what you wanted to hear
