Know Your Name Lyrics
Know your name
And sing it loud
Know your na-a-a-a-ame
Though I’m saying this again
Know your name
And sing it loud
Though I listen when you talk to me
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
On and on the song seems to find you alone
When it rains
I hear that sound
When it ra-a-a-a-ains
All that pain
Washing down
When it rains
I hear that sound
Though I listen when you talk to me
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
Why’d your spirit cry? My oh my
You should have seen you in your prime.
And sing it loud
Know your na-a-a-a-ame
Though I’m saying this again
Know your name
And sing it loud
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
On and on the song seems to find you alone
I hear that sound
When it ra-a-a-a-ains
All that pain
Washing down
When it rains
I hear that sound
Your eyes, they seem cold
And I wish I might remind you of the time
When they held the sky
Why’d your spirit cry? My oh my
You should have seen you in your prime.

I think that this song is kind of saying, be yourself...don't let others sway you from your own opinions and your own personality.
And someone used to know who they were, and they meant the world to the singer, but since then, they've become lost in the expectations of others, and therefore don't seem like them self any more.
I think it's quite a catchy tune. And I love the trombones at the end, they sound so cool!
Yeah that horn line is probably the simplest on the album but it's absolutely phenomenal.
