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, I´m sorry, (Emily, I) I just Make it up as I go along Yet, 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 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, I´m sorry, (Emily, I) baby You know how I get when I´m wrong (You know how I get) And I can feel myself becoming (I can feel) Somebody I´m not, I´m not, so Emily, forgive me, (Emily, I) 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 Mm-mm-hmm, mm-hmm
