Emily

lyrics

We go walkin hand in hand in hand

stop at a payphone to call in our demands

hey operator do you get lonely too?

look what it’s costin’ me just to talk to you

Emily,  can’t you see

you don’t have to spell it out for me

I’ll bring you English Breakfast tea

and you can read the leaves

and learn what everybody else can already see

you should be drinkin your tea with me

Emily

Day 47 is just like the one before

Channel 11 is live outside our door

I watch a little but they don’t understand

i love you so I can’t let go of your hand

Emily,  can’t you see

1 and 1 and 1 and 1 is 3

I’ll bring you English Breakfast tea

and you can read the leaves

and learn what everybody else can already see

you should be drinkin your tea with me

Emily

Girl you got my number

Call me I’m goin under

I saw you peekin up at the morning sky

I know you’re sneakin around with another guy

Somebody’s comin/I hear them through the walls

Honey hang up the phone before they can trace the call

Emily,  can’t you see

you got me beggin on my bended knees

I’ll bring you English Breakfast tea

and you can read the leaves

and learn what everybody else can already see

stay here with me

Emily
