Name -- The Goo Goo Dolls

Even though the moment passed me by, I still can't turn away.
All the dreams you never thought you'd lose got tossed along the way.
Letters that you never meant to send lost or thrown away.
Now we're grown up orphans that never knew their names. We don't belong to no one.
That's a shame. If you could hide inside me, maybe for awhile,
and I won't tell no one your name. And I won't tell 'em your name.

Scars are souvenirs you never lose, the past is never far.
And did you lose yourself way out there Did you get to be a star?
Don't make you sad to know that life is more than who you are?
Grew up way too fast and now there's nothing to believe.
Reruns all become our history. A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio, 
And I won't tell 'em your name.

I think about you all the time, but I don't need the same.
It's lonely where you are.




Lead singer John Rzeznik wrote this about his childhood. He sings it to his sisters who raised him; both his parents died when he was young and his father was an alcoholic. The line, "We're grown up orphans who never knew their names" reflects his past.
