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.
