Lyrics
{Organ and Trumpet intro]
[Verse 1]
I thought love would come to me
I’d ignore the warning signs
I held hope despite the past
In this life of my design
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there more than what I have?
More than getting through the day?
[Chorus]
Is there something for this ache?
That won’t always slip away?
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
------------------
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
[Verse 2]
I learned which hours not to work
crowded roads I should avoid
I looked for any path to use
To keep away from all the noise
[Pre-Chorus]
Is there more than what I have?
More than getting through the day
[Chorus]
Is there something for this ache?
That won’t always slip away?
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
------------------
This longing in my heart
Has never had a name.
[Verse 3]
I almost didn’t go that day
I almost turned my eyes aside
But in the steady way You spoke
There was nothing left to hide
[Trumpet interlude]
------------------
[Bridge]
We fill our days with smaller answers
tough doubts aren’t asked out loud
We learn to keep our hearts distracted
We keep our distance from the crowd
------------------
[Pre-Chorus]
There is more than what I have
I can await each passing day.
[Chorus]
There is something for this ache
That won’t ever slip away
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
[Outro]
I came for water, nothing more
Just one more day, the same old way
You asked the questions
I was going to walk away
But I waited longer than I planned
something in me made me stay.
something in me made me stay.
something in me made me stay.
[Trumpet solo]
------------------
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
This longing in my heart
Now has a name.
[Trumpet outro]
