"Last Name" lyrics

Take me to dinner, say it's my favorite
Hasn't been my favorite since I was 9
You say you're here but do you really listen
I don't really listen I think we stopped trying

Am I loyal to people or to a last name?
I'll carry the crest, an internalized plane
When gods become people there isn't much to talk about
It feels like a graveyard inside of our house
It feels like a graveyard inside of our house

It's almost your birthday, don't know what to get you
Don't know what to get you, don't know what you like
And I never asked, you never told me
You never tell me so I'll get you wine

When it starts to feel like work to pick up the cold
Small talk with strangers that you're too dear to love
No choice in who made you but choice with your time
I hope you felt chosen some of your life
I hope you felt chosen some of your life

There is a kid who lives inside and they miss you
Inside and they miss you and they don't know why
Why we stopped eating dinner at the table
And stopped watching movies on Saturday nights

Before I saw the cities across the state lines
You were my safety and I was your pride
Oh it feels different from now, it's alright
'Cause at least I knew you once in my life
At least I knew you once in my life

I see you in movies, I see you in light
I see you in playgrounds every tear that I cry
I hear you in trains singing with crickets at night
I know that I knew you once in my life
I hope that I meet you again when it's time
