Emily*

Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1: Noah Kahan]

I got homesickness

It's wearing me out, I miss you like hell

Oh, I'm a witness

To the crime of my doubts, trying to work my way out

[Pre-Chorus: Noah Kahan]

And I blame myself for thinking love's like summer where I live

It's perfect for a moment, then it turns back into shit

[Chorus: Noah Kahan]

But I loved you, not the way I had to

Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain

And I had it close enough to grab it

Sat and watched it pass until I realized my mistake

Now I know how to fall

Without letting myself break

I changed my ways, Emily

[Verse 2: Matt Quinn]

I got motion sickness

From the turn of the Earth and the twist of my words

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Quinn]

And I blame myself for thinking love's like summer where I live

It's perfect for a moment, then it turns back into shit

[Chorus: Matt Quinn]

But I loved you, not the way I had to

Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain

But I had it close enough to grab it

Sat and watched it pass 'til I realized my mistake

Well, now I know how to fall

Without letting myself break

I changed my ways, Emily

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Noah Kahan & Matt Quinn, Noah Kahan]

But I loved you, not the way I had to

Not the way you asked to, I'm terrified of pain

But I had it close enough to grab it

Sat and watched it pass until I realized my mistake

Now I know how to fall

Without letting myself break

I changed my ways, Emily
