"Crossed Out Name" lyrics

"Crossed Out Name"

Orange sky, don't go
Manhattan looks like someplace else
Cloudy with a low fog shell
Into the crowded streets I go
Eventually they lead me back home
Where we used to live
I live alone and into bed I go

I wish I could tell you just how I felt
I don't pray, I shower
And say goodnight to myself
And when I close my eyes
I feel like a page
With a crossed-out name
With a crossed-out name

I kiss her mouth and I know
For everything there is a word
For everything but this
I like the dresses, the shoes, and the clothes
And everything you know that goes
With loving a girl, I suppose

I wish I could tell you just how I'm hurt
Pinpoint the location
It's in another universe
When I close my eyes
I see a fire so plain
And my crossed-out name
Crossed-out names
I see a crossed-out name
I see a crossed-out name
