Emily I'm Sorry

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" Emily (Emily, I), I'm sorry, I just Make it up as I go along, and I can feel (I can feel) myself becoming Someone only you could want 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 Emily (Emily, I), I'm sorry, baby You know how I get (you know how I get) when I'm wrong And I can feel (I can feel) myself becoming Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so Emily (Emily, I), forgive me, can we Make it up as we go along? I'm 27, and I don't know who I am (don't know who I am) But I know what I want Emily, I'm sorry Emily, I'm sorry I'm sorry
