Emily Songtext
von Ryan O'Reilly

The last day that you were mine you were leaving
In your Dad′s car, Emily
You were trying to fix something you had just broken
I said if you need to go, leave this with me

I stared at the hand prints on your bedroom wall
Ready like mine to keep you safe from it all
Your brother came early and he found me crying
It's embarrassing now when we meet at the bar

The towns and lights on the arrivals board rearrange
Above the place where you used to wait for me
But nobody searches for my face in the crowd
Since the day you left me, Emily


It′s four in the morning, the voices get closer
To my front door as I finish my drink
If you were still here maybe you'd try and help me
As I pick broken glass from my hands and the sink

The towns and lights on the arrivals board rearrange
Above the place where you used to wait for me
But nobody searches for my face in the crowd
Since the day you left me, Emily

In the glow of the lamp there is something that's dying
It′s stuck where it is but it longs to be free
I know where you are but would would I say
I′d probably freeze after just 'Emily′

The towns and lights on the arrivals board rearrange
Above the place where you used to wait for me
But nobody searches for my face in the crowd
Since the day you left me, Emily

You. Can't. Repeat. The. Past
