Lyrics
When the rain is falling
I'll give you shelter and keep you safe
You know what they say when I carry your secrets away / They only call me by your name
I am shunned by my own reflection, I haven't seen a soul for days, There's no plans to arrange and all the faces have changed, They will only call me by your name
Vanity and trouble, I heard some people mumble
Callous and betrayed, the whole time they would say
Holding on and fading, an answer left in waiting, they only call me by your name
And now I don't even go out, I'm tired of all the guessing games
You can tell them today that the angle has changed and they can call me myself again
They won't throw you out with every self doubt, you will be called by your own real name
(Chorus) What is your name?
You know what they say when they carry your secrets away, they'll only call me by your name, they'll only call me by your name, call me by your name
