I write your name   Everywhere I go   Like a worn out code   Just to let you know      I write your name   On my loneliness   On the closet hook where you hung that dress      Don't you see   You turn this trust   To wind and dust and it's choking me      It's hard to touch the sun   And be the only one, then watch it run away      I never thought a change could terrify this way   I love you twice you know   Once for work, once for play   So I got this pen   It doesn't hurt me when      I write your name   On tv screens,   On empty plates, on magazines      I write your name   In san francisco   On bathroom walls and new wave discos      It's hard to live in hate   There's no day and night   There's no time or date      You were gone like sweat and rain   Through my own two hands,   I write your name in vain      I can't believe you meant   When you walked out of that door   To put off any chance to be with you once more      The only thing you left behind was terror   You're like an echo in an empty mirror      I need the proof to show   To let them know, to let them know   I write your name      I write your name   With thick blue ink   On stones I throw just to watch 'em sink      I write your name   On a great wood beam   On an ancient ship in a fading dream      I write your name   On every move I make   On the things I fake, on my own mistakes      I write your name   On my naked fright   For the final time, I write your name tonight      I never knew a word   Could take it all away   And I wish I never heard   The words you had to say      But there is nothing left to find of you   I left behind the final clue   But I still have this pen   And every now and then   I write your name   I write your name   I write your name
