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
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
[Chorus]
And Emily (Emily), I'm sorry, I just
Make it up as I go along
Yet, I can feel myself becoming (I can feel myself)
Someone only you could want
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Emily (Emily), I'm sorry, baby
You know how I get when I'm wrong (You know how I get)
And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel myself)
Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so
Emily (Emily), forgive me, can we
Make it up as we go along?
I'm twenty-seven and I don't know who I am (Don't know who I am)
But I know what I want
[Outro]
Emily, I'm sorry
Emily, I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Spí na zadnom sedadle
Vyzerám dosť pokojne pre mňa
Ale ona sa blíži do snu
Plné pneumatík a ohňa
Prichádzame späť z miesta, kde nikto nežije
Do značnej miery len veteráni
Keď som poukázal na to, kde je severná hviezda
Nazvala mi kurva klamár
[Chorus]
A Emily (Emily), prepáč, ja len
Vymyslieť to, keď idem ďalej
Napriek tomu sa cítim, že sa stávam (cítim sa sám)
Niekto iba ty by mohol chcieť
[Verš 2]
Zamieril priamo na betón
V nočnej mori kričanie
Teraz som široko hore, špirálovitý
A ty sa nechceš rozprávať
Len ma vezmi späť do Montrealu
Dostanem skutočnú prácu, vrátiš sa do školy
Môžeme vyhorieť v mrazivej chladnosti
A len sa stratte
[Chorus]
Emily (Emily), prepáč, zlatko
Vieš, ako sa dostanem, keď sa mýlim (vieš, ako sa dostanem)
A cítim sa, že sa stávam (cítim sa sám)
Niekto nie som, nie som, tak
Emily (Emily), odpusť mi, môžeme
Vymyslieť to, keď ideme ďalej?
Mám dvadsaťsedem a neviem, kto som (neviem, kto som)
Ale viem, čo chcem
[Outro]
Emily, prepáč
Emily, prepáč
Prepáč
