When The World Knows Your Name

Down the road
At the bar we sit
We're a friendship
My longing must resist

But up the stairs
Up into my heart
We're the lovers
Who never have the chance

And I say, what's needed
Are some memories
Without pain
It's hard when the world
Knows your name

Was it just last week?
He was your only flame
And the wind
On our street calls his name

But you could try me
There's so much more to say
And our neighbors
Let them whisper
All day

The jukebox says
Our moment has arrived
Leave out all the history
For tonight

Let's make the memories
The dreamers' only claim
But it's hard
When the world
Knows your name

The jukebox says
Our moment has arrived
Leave out all the history
For tonight

Let's make the memories
The dreamers' only claim
But it's hard
When the world
Knows your name
