Both Names is a song about being in a relationship with someone but feeling too reserved to ever demonstrate the closeness you share.
lyrics
Standing at the bus stop
You pull up across the road
You're so late but I don't care
Smiling at you as I cross
Yellow blades of sun cut
Through your golden hair
I get in and you drive fast
Is it too late to go?
I call you by both names when I
Talk about you with my friends
Even though I tell you everything
Think of all the places we have been
Silence falls when I ask to know more
You won't agree when I say it's a waste
I think about you though your heart is closed
Just know that I miss you
You say that you're tired of
Always kissing me first
Refuse to do it again but
Smile through your heated words
Pull me back by my collar
My lips meet yours
Don't wear your heart on your sleeve
It will only get torn off
I call you by both names when I
Talk about you with my friends
Even though I tell you everything
Think of all the places we have been
Silence falls when I ask to know more
You won't agree when I say it's a waste
I think about you though your heart is closed
Just know that I miss you
I'll call you by both names
I'll call you by both names
