Hey, hey, this is everything today
You´ve got nothing to complain about
You´ve got nothing to say
So this had better be good or you´d better be quiet, yeah

´Cause baby I´m not standin´ in your way
We could paint this city red
Or we could drown it out in gray
If Friday night is a bust, Saturday is a riot, yeah
Oh Emily, oh, I love you for your apathy
How you sell it in your diary
It´s no secret, you can´t die if your life´s a mystery
Emily, now you´re starving for some sympathy
And you think you got it worse than me
But you´ll see that you can´t live if your life´s a tragedy
Hey, hey, girl, you´re driving me insane
You´re obnoxious when they´re pretty
You´re ecstatic when they´re plain
But this is my design, this is my roller coaster, yeah

And you said I won´t be happy ´til I´m dead
But I told you once before
And girl I meant it when I said
I don´t wanna be close, I just wanna be closer, yeah
Oh Emily, oh, I love you for your apathy
How you sell it in your diary
It´s no secret, you can´t die if your life´s a mystery
Emily, now you´re starving for some sympathy
And you think you got it worse than me
But you´ll see that you can´t live if your life´s a tragedy
All alone and very ordinary
When your duress is now your sanctuary
You´ve got it wrong but I´ve never been the type
To walk away so fast
´Cause there´s no way out

Until I shout
Oh Emily, I only love you for your apathy
How you sell it in your diary
It´s no secret, you can´t die if your life´s a mystery
Emily, now you´re starving for some sympathy
And you think you got it worse than me
But you´ll see that you can´t live if your life´s a tragedy
