Emily I’m Sorry Songtext
von boygenius

She′s asleep in the backseat
Looking peaceful enough to me
But she's wakin′ up inside a dream
Full of screeching tires and fire

We're comin' back from where no one lives
Pretty much just veterans
When I pointed out where the North Star is
She called me "a fuckin′ liar"

Emily (Emily, I), I′m sorry, I just
Make it up as I go along, and
I can feel (I can feel) myself becoming
Someone only you could want


Headed straight for the concrete
In a nightmare, screaming
Now I'm wide awake, spiraling
And you don′t wanna talk

Just take me back to Montreal
I'll get a real job, you′ll go back to school
We can burn out in the freezing cold
And just get lost

Emily (Emily, I), I'm sorry, baby
You know how I get (you know how I get) when I′m wrong
And I can feel (I can feel) myself becoming
Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so

Emily (Emily, I), forgive me, can we
Make it up as we go along?
I′m 27, and I don′t know who I am (don't know who I am)
But I know what I want

Emily, I′m sorry
Emily, I'm sorry

I′m sorry
