Omar Rodríguez-López
Give It A Name
[Verse 1]
Well, I never thought this day would end
I walked the tired steps of latter day friends
And all because your stubbornness was
Smiling through your braces
Never thought this day would come
You threw the bricks that built this wall
Amantillado at the top of your lungs
And I can't hear you anymore
[Chorus]
So, take your diamond bland shaped tears
And maybe I'll see you in twenty years
And I will always wear your ring
You know, the one that turned my finger green
So, take your diamond bland shaped tears
And maybe I'll see you in twenty years
And I will always wear your ring
You know, the one that turned my finger green
[Verse 1]
Well, I never thought this day would end
I walked the tired steps of latter day friends
And all because your stubbornness was
Smiling through your braces
[Chorus 2]
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Silver platter of opportunity
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Silver platter of opportunity
You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone
Silver platter of opportunity
[Chorus 3]
Never taught what you thought you knew
Meal tickets have been refused
Never taught what you thought you knew
Meal tickets have been refused
Never taught what you thought you knew
Meal tickets have been refused
[Bridge]
You gave me a reason
To sing our last song
[Chorus]
So, take your diamond bland shaped tears
And maybe I'll see you in twenty years
And I will always wear your ring
You know, the one that turned my finger green
[Outro]
And it's not you, it's me
And it's not you, it's me
And it's not you, it's me
And it's not you, it's me
And it's not you, it's me
And it's not you, it's me
Silver platter of opportunity
Silver platter of opportunity
Silver platter of opportunity
