The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Alone on a train aimless in wonder

An outdated map crumpled in my pocket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

And 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 things

There are different names for the same things...
