Name: Emily
Duration: P00H03M21S
Description: This song was the first song I wrote that made me realize I might be done writing practice songs. As a keystone to 1998's weatheR, I played it a lot with row6. Not then being a primary singer, I also learned to humbly let someone else take the lead on my song. To this day I cannot replicate Nathan's amazing ad-lib ending.

lyrics

It's a sad day
To waste away
And a sad thought I ponder
Figurines dancing
In the rain
Little fists of wonder
And Emily sits and
Taps her toes
To the sound of her heart breaking
But somehow
She's always been
There for me

Emily says she loves me
But no the way you think
And somehow
We're running on the brink
Of destruction
And I hold her smithereens
In the palm of my grasp
Gotta put them back together

It doesn't feel much
Like a Monday
Doesn't feel like afternoon
Doesn't mean
I wanna be here
Doesn't mean I wanna go
And I hope it's still
Raining outside
It's always so cold in here
Yeah it's always
So Cold
So Quiet, So Weird, So Queer

Emily says she loves me
But no the way you think
And somehow
We're running on the brink
Of destruction
And I hold her smithereens
In the palm of my grasp
Gotta put them back together
