[Verse 1]
You left your coffee by the window
A little ring upon the wood
I read the note beside it twice
It said you knew I would
I took the long way past the river
With your old jacket on my back
Every corner held a question
Every answer led me back
[Pre-Chorus]
But I am done with waiting
For a door you never close
I can feel the morning changing
In the way my heartbeat goes
[Chorus]
I’m taking back my name tonight
Writing it in bigger lines
No more running after maybe
No more making wrong feel right
I’ve got a fire in my chest
And I’m finally catching breath
If you see me, wave goodbye
I’m taking back my name tonight
[Verse 2]
Your picture’s face-down in the drawer now
Not a wound, just something old
I found a dress I never wore
And put it on in gold
My friends are waiting at the corner
With a table in the sun
They said, “You’ve got a life to live”
So I said, “Watch me run”
[Pre-Chorus]
I am done with waiting
For a sign beneath the door
I can hear the future calling
And I’m not afraid anymore
[Chorus]
I’m taking back my name tonight
Writing it in bigger lines
No more running after maybe
No more making wrong feel right
I’ve got a fire in my chest
And I’m finally catching breath
If you see me, wave goodbye
I’m taking back my name tonight
[Bridge]
I gave you every quiet minute
Every truth I couldn’t hide
Now I’m giving one to myself
And I’m stepping outside
[Final Chorus]
I’m taking back my name tonight
Turning all the wrongs to signs
No more running after maybe
No more making small feel right
I’ve got a fire in my chest
And I’m finally catching breath
If you see me, wave goodbye
I’m taking back my name tonight
[Outro]
Taking back my name
Taking back my time
I was waiting for a sunrise
Now the morning’s mine
