Okay, so I suppose that I'm the first Emily that is commenting on this song. This should be interesting seeing as how I am able to respond without bias :). I am a Jewel fan, however, and I must say that this is a great song. I absolutely love it. I even love the name Emily.

Guess I'm the first non-Emily to comment on this song. But I gotta say, this song is awesome!! I just love it! No one's said anything about what they think it means either, but I've got a few thoughts... I reckon she's singing about losing this girl Emily (I kinda imagine Emily to be a child/teen), and it's all about these strong feelings of how much she cared for Emily, and now there's no Emily to love anymore, and she's so sad...

Woke up to find I lost my mind Lost heart, lost nerve I lost my favourite word - Emily

I take my cigarettes I give 'em a smoke Oh god My heart feels froze I've lost something it seems I've misplaced my favourite thing - Emily

(These 2 verses r simple- just saying how much losing Emily has affected her)

Where does love go If it can't find a home One moment here then gone With no forwarding address Love no longer has a house Or residence in flesh

(Chorus is simple too- Emily (is the 'home'/'flesh')is no longer there, so her love has no place to be. It used to be in Emily, but no that Emily's gone, her love has nowhere to go)

Take the keys I get in the car To out run this man I'd have to go real far Where mercy wears lace And bottles are thieves Which of these took you from me? Emily

(Well obviously, it's to outrun this pain, hurt, this situation... But I'm not quite sure what she means by the mercy, etc and bottles, etc lines. Any thoughts?)

I face myself But there's this draft inside Parts of me drowned In perpetual tide I wanna call names I wanna throw things around But no bar can buy Forgiveness another round for Emily

(Well, simply this 'draft inside' and the 'perpetual tide' is part of the gap and the hurt -grief- that's left behind now that she's lost Emily. She's angry and upset, which is why she wants to call names, etc. Once again, not quite sure about 'no bar can buy forgiveness'... Any thoughts on that? And I think she just means, lets have another round for Emily.)

I go to the bedroom Turn on the light It's like an empty altar No angel in sight religion with no temple No place to take my worship to No god for my eyes to see No fruit to lay at the feet of Emily

(I reckon it's Emily's bedroom she's gone into, and Emily is no longer, so therfore- no angel (Emily) in sight. And all that 'worship', 'god', 'fruit' stuff is just showing how deeply devoted she was to Emily, and now her devotion and love are homeless

Gone Gone

(Need I even explain this one? Duh... Haha. Uh yeh. She's gone.)

There's just so much feeling in this song, the way she sings it, you have no choice then to feel it yourself! it's great

i'm another emily- part of the reason i was led to this song- i was always a jewel fan but i just searched any song with the name emily once and this came up. it's an amazing song- i dont know why but i always feel like it's her niece or someone like that- random of me i know- but i just get that sense- i feel like maybe thats just cause of chantal kreviazuk's song named "eve" cause it's about her neice- and apparently i put those two together? alrighty. anyways- yes she lost emily and it's about life with out her..in my opinion. alright- go jewel yah whoo.
