lyrics

On the cab ride back from the bar
You put your head on your arm
And stared out of the car
At the night

And the city shining so bright
From Broadway to the stars in your eyes
And somehow all the lights
Followed you

‘Cause I gave my longing a name
And it’s your name
And I gave my longing a face
And it’s your face
So tell me what I’m missing
When I look in your eyes

So I walked you back to your door
Up stairs to the second floor
And wanted all the more
Just to say

I gave my longing a name
And it’s your name
And I gave my longing a face
And it’s your face
So tell me what I’m missing
When I look in your eyes

But every movie script ending
Has turned out to be a fake
So when the strings kicked in
I felt my heart break

‘Cause I gave my longing a name
And it’s your name
And I gave my longing a face
And it’s your face
So tell me what I’m missing
When I look in your eyes
