Any two other poeple just like me and you

never seem to go through half the trouble that we do



It's the end, over and over again

when did you first begin

to be so disappointed in everything?



Could you have always been this way?

Dead to the world, as some would say,

and in such perfect disarray?

Hey, Emily

there came a time to speak your mind

you said: "goodbye"

Emily, you say goodbye

but you're still here with me



No one knows what we're wanding toward

and I suppose ignorance is its own reward

but such a lot gets ignored



you've no idea of what I'd do,

bullets that I would take for you,

and what I'd let you put me through



Hey, Emily

you see the questions that arise

you close your eyes

Emily, you close your eyes

but you're still here with me,



and I always wonder, where do you pretend to be?



Hey, Emily

if you get called to testify

you'll say "goodbye"

Emily, you say goodbye

but you're still here with me.
