Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Alone on a train
Aimless in wonder
An outdated map
Crumbled in my pocket
But I didn't care
Where I was going
So they're all different names
For the same place
[Verse 2]
The coast disappeared
When the sea drowned the sun
I know words to share
With anyone
The boundaries of language
I quietly cursed
All the different names
For the same thing
[Verse 3]
There are different names
For the same thing
There are different names
For the same thing
There are different names
There are different names
There are different names
There are different names
[Verse 4]
There are different names
There are different names
There are different names
There are different names
[Verse 5]
Different names for the same thing
Different names for the same thing
For the same thing
For the same thing
