Hey Emily Lyrics
Any two other poeple just like me and you
never seem to go through half the trouble that we do
It's the end, over and over again
when did you first begin
to be so disappointed in everything?
Could you have always been this way?
Dead to the world, as some would say,
and in such perfect disarray?
Hey, Emily
there came a time to speak your mind
you said: "goodbye"
Emily, you say goodbye
but you're still here with me
No one knows what we're wanding toward
and I suppose ignorance is its own reward
but such a lot gets ignored
you've no idea of what I'd do,
bullets that I would take for you,
and what I'd let you put me through
Hey, Emily
you see the questions that arise
you close your eyes
Emily, you close your eyes
but you're still here with me,
and I always wonder, where do you pretend to be?
Hey, Emily
if you get called to testify
you'll say "goodbye"
Emily, you say goodbye
but you're still here with me.
never seem to go through half the trouble that we do

Emily, you say goodbye
but you're still here with me
and I suppose ignorance is its own reward
but such a lot gets ignored

and what I'd let you put me through
you see the questions that arise
you close your eyes
Emily, you close your eyes
but you're still here with me,
if you get called to testify
you'll say "goodbye"
Emily, you say goodbye
but you're still here with me.

i heart this song i always send it out to my friend emmy on the local crappy college radio station cuz im a dork yeah!
i love this song. it's mtx at their best. well...yeah...i guess. it's a good song. mtx is a great band that needs more popularity cause they deserve it so much.
i agree, but someone once told me that they read somewhere that MTX is too intelegent to be popular, and i dunno if thats true, but it seems it has held true. and this song is great especially if you have the balls to serenade that girl you still makes you feel short of breath whenever you see her, (granted her name is emily) with it...i don't...dont be a pussy like me.
