Emily I'm Sorry

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, I just (Emily, I) Make it up as I go along And 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, baby (Emily, I) 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, can we (Emily, I) 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-mm-hmm, mm-hmm Emily, I'm sorry Emily, I'm sorry I'm sorry
