"Hello My Name Is" lyrics

"Hello My Name Is"

If you look real hard
Squint with all your might
Even better close your eyes
And it all comes into sight
Learning to trust the wait
For blessings in disguise
It's kind of like a chrysalis
Turning into butterflies

If you were lonely here
Will you be lonely there
And when you're gone one day
Will anybody care
There's all these things I ought
To still find time to do
Instead of I'm fucking off
Writing letters to the moon

Pack the family memories
And your best laid plans
Join the serpentine line
Holding one another's hands
Time to check your bag
Where no baggage claim is
And wear a tag that says
Hello my name is
Hello, hello

We tilt towards the light
Like such natural optimists
But we also love the night
And all its shadow gifts
Maybe the hardest part
Of all the letting go
Is the taking stock
Of all we'll never know

Pack the family memories
And the best laid plans
Join the serpentine line
Holding one another's hands
Time to check your bag
Where no baggage claim is
And wear a tag that says
Hello my name is
Hello, hello, hello
