The Naming of Things Lyrics



You remind me of you
The way you shot right through and how
You broke my window gla*s
Fast, it happened so fast

I have to confess that I
That I was impressed that I
That I was impressed that I

Despite all the mess and the broken gla*s
I was impressed

Here's where I disappeared, where I fell off the pier
And to, and to be rescued I did wait

As they draw figure eights as they draw

From the bottom of the lake as they draw

But you, you can't be found when the bell rings
You weren't there that day for the naming of things
The naming of things, the naming of things
When your homeroom bell rings
And when your homeroom bell

One, two, three, four

You remind me of you
When you shot through
And broke my window gla*s
It happened so fast, I have to confess

I was impressed, and I was impressed
Despite all the mess and the broken gla*s
I was impressed

But you, you can't be found when the bell rings
You weren't there that day for the naming of things
The naming of things, the naming of things
Where the homeroom bell rings, and when the homeroom bell rings
Is the naming of things, the naming of
