"Name," sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh Goo Goo Dolls, melukiskan kisah perenungan tentang masa lalu dan identitas yang hilang. Lagu ini berefleksi pada mimpi yang terabaikan, peluang yang terlewatkan, dan kerinduan yang tak pernah padam. Liriknya yang menggugah mengungkap kesepian dan perasaan terasing dari "anak yatim piatu dewasa" yang tidak pernah mengenal asal usul mereka. Lagu ini menjadi himne tentang kerinduan akan koneksi dan pengakuan, karena narator bersumpah untuk merahasiakan identitas orang yang mereka kasihi, bahkan ketika luka masa lalu tetap melekat dalam ingatan.
Name Lyrics
Goo Goo Dolls
And even though the moment passed me by
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
I still can't turn away
Cuz all the dreams you never thought you'd lose
Got tossed along the way
And letters that you never meant to send
Got lost or thrown away
And now we're grown up orphans
And never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
But you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
And scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
We grew up way too fast
And now there's nothing to believe
And reruns all become our history
A tired song keeps playing on a tired radio
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
I won't tell em' your name
Oooh, oooh, oooh
I won't tell em' your name
Ow!
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
