REMEMBER MY NAME

A rockstar and an NFL player share a connection without knowing who the other is. When they finally figure it out, will fame change the passion between them? Or will it get in the way? 

I’ve been telling lies all my life

Wrote myself in someone else’s light

Who I am, who I wanna be—

Smiled through the static, talked in my sleep

But then—

Your blue eyes cut me wide

In a flickering flame, I couldn’t hide

Moon hung low like it knew

What the hell I was doing smiling at you

We touched like it meant nothing

But it was all too much

Breathless in a stranger’s bed

Heart beating like a threat

I never told you who I am

You didn’t tell me about you

Is it stupid I want you to

Remember my name

Even though I never told it to you

Even if I left it hanging in the air

If I vanish, if this burns away—

Forget the game, just

Remember my name.
