"Keep Your Name Alive" lyrics

"Keep Your Name Alive"

I cannot lie
I should have thought it over
There was a time
I opened with a closer
I flew away, away, away
Kept my composure
As she waved
Did I become another castaway?

If I simply turned around
Or counted one to five
Do you have to leave your home
To keep your name alive?

Well I guess I had to find out for myself
The house remained divided
Locked the door
Are mirrors all one-sided?
But the day went after day
And still no further
Breaking waves
Rendered me another castaway

If I simply turned around
Or counted one to five
Do you have to leave your home
To keep your name alive?
Whether you float far away
Where it's too deep to dive
Failing further mention of
Keep your name alive
Keep your name alive

La la la, la la la, la la la
I flew away, away, away
La la la, la la la, la la la

If I simply turned around
Or counted one to five
Is there need to travel far
In order to arrive?
Whether you float far away
Where it's too deep to dive
You don't have to leave your home
To keep your name alive
Keep your name alive
Keep your name alive
Keep your name alive
