Hey Rachel, why do people call you Rach?

Is it the way you laugh

Or the way you answer back?

In the lunch line, in the rain,

It still fits like a song

Everybody says it fast

Like they knew it all along

But you lean in close

Like, say it again

One small name

And it feels like a secret then

Rach, Rach, Rach

That’s the spark you wear (Rach)

Rach, Rach, Rach

Short and sharp and rare

Hey Rachel, why do people call you Rach?

‘Cause it lands so hard

And it comes right back

On your bag, on your sleeve,

Even scribbled in a note

Two little syllables

And they both feel bold

Not a nickname made up

Just a door kicked wide

You keep the whole first name

Then the punchline by your side

And I hear it once

Then I hear it twice

Rach sounds like trouble

And it sounds so nice

Rach, Rach, Rach

That’s the spark you wear (Rach)

Rach, Rach, Rach

Short and sharp and rare

Hey Rachel, why do people call you Rach?

‘Cause it lands so hard

And it comes right back

Maybe names get cut

To the part that glows

Maybe that’s just you

In the way it shows

One little snap

When you walk in the room

Rachel in full

Then Rach, and boom

Rach, Rach, Rach

That’s the spark you wear (Rach)

Rach, Rach, Rach

Short and sharp and rare

Hey Rachel, why do people call you Rach?

‘Cause it lands so hard

And it comes right back

Hey Rachel why do they call you rach? Is it the way you laugh

Or the way you answer back?

In the lunch line, in the rain,

It still fits like a song

Everybody says it fast

Like they knew it all along, Rach!
