"Emaline" lyrics

"Emaline"

Now, I wish it was
Last September
When we could lose ourselves in crowds everyday
'Cause Emaline
Don't walk in time
She's not the same that's all you can say

When I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

They're talking now
Does she know what they're saying?
She's got the air
To float above it
I'm sinking in the "Someone Should Pay."

She's dear to me
And so expensive
I'm not talking 'bout money
But money talks
I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear

And when I've heard enough, I tell myself
That we've learned our lesson, but I
Don't wanna walk away from Emaline

It only took me one look to understand Emaline
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying
Sometimes I do
Sometimes I don't know what she's saying
But I know, I know
I know what she wants to believe
Now, I wish it was
Last September

Don't let me walk away from Emaline
For stupid reasons
Now I'm talking 'bout money
When money talks
I hate to listen
But lately it's been screaming in my ear

Yeah, what advice!
Girls need attention
Or are you different than all mine?
For all it's worth
She's got attention
From people like you who see black and white

Now I've heard enough, I'll tell you what
Really shouldn't sit here and whine
I'll take you down to see my Emaline

I wish it was
