[Verse 1]
Some people spend their lives running away from it
Too many sleepless nights lying awake from it
Some people bank their cheques by embracing it
Embracing it
Some people spend their lives running away from it
Too many sleepless nights lying awake from it
Some people roll their eyes just from hearing it
From hearing it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the badge you wear, it's your own straightjacket
It's the cross you bear, it's your life in brackets
Is it who you are? Is it what you make it?
Just something you earn, or can you dictate it?

[Chorus]
How d'you feel, how d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
A day, a day
Your name, your name, your name
A day, a day, a day
Your name, your name, your name
[Verse 2]
So proud, he wrote it large all over his skin
Nothing in common with that body she's in
Every time you hear it said it just makes you cringe
It makes you cringe

[Pre-Chorus]
It's the badge you wear, it's your own straightjacket
It's the cross you bear, it's your life in brackets
Is it who you are? Is it what you make it?
Just something you earn, or can you dictate it?

[Chorus]
How d'you feel, how d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
How d'you feel when you hear your name
Calling out, calling a hundred times a day?
A day, a day
Your name, your name, your name
A day, a day, a day
Your name, your name, your name

[Outro]
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
You let it roll off of your tongue, one line
I never thought it would define my life
