[Verse 1]
We chose our names
We chose our ways to get by
It was never enough
But it was enough to survive
Now I'm draggin' my feet through the sidewalk
This heat's really getting me down
But I'll keep coming to
If it gets me to you
Hope it turns us around

[Chorus]
And I found when it goes around
That it goes so slow
And our names aren't quite the same
When they say them wrong

[Verse 2]
Sorry to say we'll be expecting delays
Now please grab a seat
Get you something to eat
Don't walk too far away from the gate
And I can't stand it anymore
But I'm still on my own two feet
Just wait 'till we get there ('Till we get there)
I hear that it's nice there
[Chorus]
And I found when it goes around
That it goes so slow
And our names aren't quite the same
When they say them wrong

[Post-Chorus 1]
We'll be home soon
Remember yesterday
How far we've come today (Look how far we've come)
We'll be alright
I thought we'd learn by now
A way to live

[Chorus]
And I found when it goes around
That it goes so slow
And our names aren't quite the same
When they say them wrong

[Post-Chorus 2]
We'll be home soon
A warm and cozy bed
A place to rest our heads (To rest our heads)
And we'll be alright
I thought we learned somehow
A way to live without
