Emaline

Now, I wish it was last September
So we could lose ourselves in crowds everyday
Cuz Emaline don't walk in time
She's not the same that's all you can say
(When I've heard enough, I tell myself)
That we learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline
They're talking now
Does she know what they're saying?
She's got the air, to float above and
I'm sinking in the "Someone Should Pay"
She's dear to me, and so expensive
I'm not talking 'bout money
When money talks, I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear
When I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline
It only took me one look to understand Emaline
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying
Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't know what she's saying
But I know, I know
I know what she wants to believe
I wish it was last September...
Don't let me walk away from Emaline
For stupid reasons
Now I'm talking 'bout money
When money talks, I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear
But what advice! Girls need attention!
Or are you different than all mine?
For all it's worth, she's got attention
From people like you who see black and white
Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what
I really shouldn't sit here and whine
I'll take you down to see my Emaline
I wish it was...
