Emily, settling Songtext
von Jamie Hamilton

We sit in pairs
We toast a white dress and a suit
The table′s plastic
Underneath its decorations
So are you

Hyperbolic handshakes
With someone I used to know
Conversation over
When the words arrive too slowly
Humans have the strangest celebrations

We synchronise
We smile at all the scripted times
The drinks cost three times more
But then they make us three times
Happier inside


Question cycle spins
I thought these people were my friends
Conversation over
When another one begins
Humans have the strangest celebrations

This day's built
On your dad′s guilt
And words conceived
But never spilt
I wanna go home
I wanna go home

You disappear
Take off your white dress and his suit
Your friends are faking fun
Just settling for anyone
And so are you

This day's built
On your dad's guilt
And words conceived
But never spilt
It should′ve been me
It should′ve been me
It should've been me
It should′ve been me
