Emily I'm Sorry

She's asleep in the backseat

Looking peaceful enough to me

But she's waking up inside a dream

Full of screeching tires and fire

We're coming back from where no one lives, pretty much just veterans

When I pointed out where the North Star is, she called me a fucking liar

Emily, I'm sorry I just (Emily, I)

Make it up as I go along

And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel)

Someone only you could want

Headed straight for the concrete in a nightmare screaming

Now I'm wide awake, spiraling, and you don't want to 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, I'm sorry, baby (Emily, I)

You know how I get when I'm wrong, and (You know how I get)

I can feel myself becoming (I can feel)

Somebody I'm not, I'm not, so

Emily, forgive me, can we (Emily, I)

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

Emily, I'm sorry

Emily, I'm sorry

I'm sorry
