Different Names for the Same Thing Songtext
von Death Cab for Cutie

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An outdated map crumpled in my pocket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)
