Hear Your Name
Echoes of Longing: Brandon McDermott's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Do you ever sit alone
Reflecting on the act of being alone.
Listen to the songs that I wrote for you
Wondering if the listener recalls songs written for them.
Like I make believe you do
Imagining or hoping that the listener listens to those songs.
Do you remember what you said
Recalling a past conversation or statement made by the listener.
The night you left me standing there in the rain
Revisiting a moment when the listener left in the rain.
And do you ever say my name
Questioning if the listener mentions the speaker's name.
Well I bet you're doing fine
Assuming that the listener is doing well.
I bet I never even cross your mind, yeah
Speculating that the speaker is not in the listener's thoughts.
Well I wish I could say the same
Expressing a desire to feel the same as the listener.
But when I cross the causeway I still hear your name
Hearing the listener's name when crossing a causeway.
Hear your name
Repeating the impact of hearing the listener's name.
Do you ever long for the nights
Asking if the listener misses past nights together.
We laid together under the stars
Recalling intimate moments under the stars.
And I held you in my arms
Remembering holding the listener in the speaker's arms.
Do I ever haunt your dreams
Questioning if the speaker appears in the listener's dreams.
Do you wake up wishing I was there with you
Wondering if the listener desires the speaker's presence upon waking.
Oh God I wish that, that were true
Expressing a wish for the listener's longing to be true.
Well I bet you're doing fine
Believing that the listener is doing well.
I bet I never even cross your mind, yeah
Speculating that the speaker is not on the listener's mind.
Well I wish I could say the same
Expressing a desire to feel the same as the listener.
But when I cross the causeway I still hear your name
Hearing the listener's name when crossing a causeway.
Well I bet you're doing fine
Reiterating the assumption that the listener is doing well.
I bet I never even cross your mind
Repeating the speculation that the speaker is not on the listener's mind.
Well I bet you're doing fine
Reiterating the assumption that the listener is doing well.
I bet I never even cross your mind, yeah
Repeating the speculation that the speaker is not on the listener's mind.
Well I wish I could say the same
Expressing a desire to feel the same as the listener.
But when I cross the causeway I still hear your name
Hearing the listener's name when crossing a causeway.
When I cross the causeway I still hear your name
Repeating the impact of hearing the listener's name when crossing a causeway.
When I cross the causeway I still hear your name
-When I cross the causeway I still hear your name
-Hear your name
Final repetition of the impact of hearing the listener's name.
