Lyrics for Different Names for the Same Thing

Alone on a train, aimless in wander An outdated map crumpled in my pocket But I didn't care where I was going 'Cause they're all different names for the same place The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun I knew no words to share it with anyone The boundaries of language I quietly cursed And all the different names for the same thing There are different names for the same thing There are different names for the same thing There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names (there are) There are different names Different names (Different names) for the same thing (for the same thing) Different names for the same thing (Different names for the same thing)
