I Hope You Like Your Name   Year: 2008 | Run Time: 5:48

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

well i hope you i hope you like your name
it's the one that i passed on some glory and some shame
i suppose if it don't really suit you you are free to change
but i hope you i hope you like your name

i hope you like your name

and i hope you like the color of your eyes
they were all auburn and passionate like a late autumn sky
and those tears you cried that had no words i knew what they meant
i hope you like your eyes and notice the resemblance

i hope you like your heart and i hope you like your mind
i was there when they gave them out the best ones they could find
won't you fill them up with good things and hand them out like gold
don't ever let them grow narrow no don't let them get cold

i hope you like your hands i hope you like your feet
hope one's all full of embraces the other never feels the heat
of a world so full of heartache and a world so full of strife
you could drown in it one moment then the next cut it with a knife

i hope you like your name i gave it out of love
it was already waiting there when you first showed up
it'll be there when you leave and rise up in the air
'cause i've covered you from start to finish with my ragged prayers

Did You Know?

The following verse was dropped from the final recording: "now light and darkness dwell under your skin and roof / we're all a history of liars and a moment of the truth / and when you cross that great divide oh i hear it's quite a jaunt / where every tear is dried i hope you get what you want"

Appeared On…
