lyrics

At Blaak, by the ticket gate, you said it low

My name came out bent, like you made it your own

On the tram seat vinyl, your thumb brushed my hand

You said it like a dare, like you owned the plan

I heard it in the cold air by the platform screen

Three syllables falling where nobody had been

Your mouth cut clean through the crowd and the noise

I turned at that sound like it picked me, boy

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name

In the snack bar, grease on the counter, you leaned in close

My name hit the tiles and I felt it in my coat

By the Maas at midnight, your version stayed in my ears

Same old letters, new sharp shape, all crystal clear

I know every other mouth, how they land, how they bend

But yours lands different every time, like you mean it, my friend

At Central, under the boards, with the boots and the rush

You say it like a mark, like a hard little crush

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name

In the mirror of the train glass, I watched my face

When you said it your way, it took up space

No one else can place that sound on my skin

Only you make the room fold in

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name

You say my name
